Quote:ATLANTA, Ga. — Fulton County officials admitted they did not properly sign tabulator tapes after the 2020 election, a violation of state regulations.

The county also noted it had misplaced other tabulator tapes and documents related to the controversial election.

The admission was made by county attorney Ann Brumbaugh during a Dec. 9 meeting of the Georgia Elections Board.

Tabulator tapes are essentially receipts printed from ballot tabulation machines that help to verify the number of voters matches the number of votes. They are a key piece of the verification and certification process in every county election across the state.

Georgia law states that a poll manager and two witnesses be present for the printing, checking and signing of each tape from the machines.

“We do not dispute that the tapes were not signed, it was a violation of the rule,” said county attorney Ann Brumbaugh. “It’s a violation of a rule, they should have done it.”

Brumbaugh said since the 2020 vote, the county has made significant changes to ensure it didn’t happen again.

“Procedures have been updated, people are taking this very seriously now,” she said. “Since then the training has been enhanced, the poll watchers are trained specifically, they’ve got to sign the tapes in the morning and they’ve got to sign the tapes when they’re run at the end of the day.”

Over 300,000 ballots in Fulton County were included in the count without proper signature verification.

That means those 300,000+ ballots are void and should not have been included in the total vote count.

Fulton County's defense? "People are taking this very seriously now." We won't do it again.

Correct. Fulton county was not a safe and secure election because that requires the correct chain of custody documentation, which they dont have. (And several other counties)

also, you are going to make Elvii and Gemini cry....

Your article is nearly a year old.

And we've covered this time and time again. NO! This in no way means those ballots are "void" or should not count. That's not how any of this works.

Additionally, the signature requirements were a procedural election rule, not a state "law."

But yes, they should have been signed, and Georgia has implemented more checks and this has not been an issue since.

trump still lost Georgia, and 2020, bigly.

You still don't know what the **** you're talking about. No court has ever disenfranchised tens of thousands of voters for a procedural issue like that.

And once again, the audits verified the results of the embarrassing trump loss to a veritable house plant.

Remember when the prog filth said it was the most secure election in history

Idiots

Amazing how Lefties believe everything they read on twitter.
The law regarding what SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE with mail in ballots. And yes, the "law" does state the elector must sign an oath.
https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/tit...-21-2-386/
"The registrar or clerk shall also confirm that the elector signed the oath and the person assisting the elector, if any, signed the required oath. If the elector has signed the elector’s oath, the person assisting has signed the required oath, if applicable, and the identifying information entered on the absentee ballot envelope matches the same information contained in the elector’s voter registration record, the registrar or clerk shall so certify by signing or initialing his or her name below the voter’s oath."

"© If the elector has failed to sign the oath, or if the identifying information entered on the absentee ballot envelope does not match the same information appearing in the elector’s voter registration record, or if the elector has failed to furnish required information or information so furnished does not conform with that on file in the registrar’s or clerk’s office, or if the elector is otherwise found disqualified to vote, the registrar or clerk shall write across the face of the envelope “Rejected,” giving the reason therefor."

Pretty self explanatory.

You got a better source for that?

Much as you would like to, you didn't say that it was incorrect. You don't really care where something came from LeftwingTom. You only care if it fits your narrative and beliefs. Sources for your posts have never been a concern for you, and you have posted comments from plenty of doozies.

You're the guy that has repeatedly posted that there hasn't been any voter fraud in our elections. Then, when confronted with facts that showed otherwise, you moved the goalpost by claiming that it was never enough to change an election. That's akin to stating that no terrorist came across our border along with the millions of illegals during the past failed administration (Biden), or at least not enough to do significant damage.

All Republicans want is for elections to be accurate, and only for our own citizens - those that are legal, living, and eligible to vote in the states that they reside in. We don't want illegals, dead people, people voting multiple times in different states, or people that are underage or otherwise ineligible to vote casting a ballot. We want an approved, pictured, current, voter ID to prove you are who you say you are to vote. We don't want ballot harvesters going to get mail in ballots from people that don't even know who they are themselves and have them sign a ballot that the harvester filled out. You and the rest of your ilk don't want that, and we all know exactly why you don't.

No, I'm a conservative. (Yes, I know you're referring to Google Gemini. lol)

haha, when I saw you had just posted on this thread, thats exactly what I was concerned about....

Whoops. Sorry about that. lol (I was also trying to lighten the mood a little, too.)

Tom: We have the account of your fellow Michigander rath who says his vote in 2020 was changed. He's even said he knows this for a fact. And from what I can tell, he's an honest person. And yet, you tell him to quit believing what he knows his true based on his own experience when it comes to this issue. Sir, does your gaslighting know no bounds? (I'm not going to answer back when you respond; I just had to say something.)

AGAIN, there is ZERO evidence of a Dominion voting machine ever changing a vote from a Democrat to a Republican, or vice versa, in an election. Not. Once.

There have been some past issues with Dominion voting machines -

Programming Errors in Illinois (2016) —

In Illinois, programming errors led to incorrect vote assignments in down-ballot races. The temporary glitch was resolved but highlighted the risks of configuration errors in electronic systems that can impact election accuracy.

High-Profile Errors During the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election -

During the 2020 election, Dominion’s systems encountered significant issues.

Michigan: In Antrim County, a configuration error led to incorrect vote tallies, which were later corrected, but not before sparking nationwide scrutiny.

Yes...and AGAIN, this is not the machine changing a vote.

And as for your comment about Illinois. You didn't provide any link, but I found one for that exact comment on a random website, not any reputable source. And their supporting link takes you to a web page for something from 2024/2026 in British Columbia, Canada

You got a better source for that?

Much as you would like to, you didn't say that it was incorrect. You don't really care where something came from LeftwingTom. You only care if it fits your narrative and beliefs. Sources for your posts have never been a concern for you, and you have posted comments from plenty of doozies.

You're the guy that has repeatedly posted that there hasn't been any voter fraud in our elections. Then, when confronted with facts that showed otherwise, you moved the goalpost by claiming that it was never enough to change an election. That's akin to stating that no terrorist came across our border along with the millions of illegals during the past failed administration (Biden), or at least not enough to do significant damage.

All Republicans want is for elections to be accurate, and only for our own citizens - those that are legal, living, and eligible to vote in the states that they reside in. We don't want illegals, dead people, people voting multiple times in different states, or people that are underage or otherwise ineligible to vote casting a ballot. We want an approved, pictured, current, voter ID to prove you are who you say you are to vote. We don't want ballot harvesters going to get mail in ballots from people that don't even know who they are themselves and have them sign a ballot that the harvester filled out. You and the rest of your ilk don't want that, and we all know exactly why you don't.

WTF are you babbling about? Of course there are configuration errors. I've mentioned them many times...and they're usually ALWAYS done by a human not properly using the machine as designed.

And I'm not going to comment on some instance where you can't even provide any credible information on what actually happened.

And I provide sources for my information all the time and welcome any credible information to the contrary. Sadly for you and your ilk, I rarely get it. And I have ZERO problem admitting if I get something wrong. I do it when it happens with no hesitation.

And FFS, I NEVER ONCE have said there has not been fraud in our elections. I am 99.9% confident that there has likely been fraud in every damned election in our history. Now what I have actually repeatedly posted is that the fraud is almost always not material to change any outcomes. It's a miniscule problem. Are you ever going to get that right, or are you just going to continue to dishonestly distort what I have actually said?

And I, and every liberal and democrat I know want the exact same thing you mentioned...

"...for elections to be accurate, and only for our own citizens - those that are legal, living, and eligible to vote in the states that they reside in. We don't want illegals, dead people, people voting multiple times in different states, or people that are underage or otherwise ineligible to vote casting a ballot."

And I have always been in favor of Voter ID. What I am NOT in favor of is Republican attempts to institute ID that will end up disenfranchising voters...which in their attempts are almost always minorities. Which is not usually a bug, but a feature.

I favor a national voter registry with citizens getting an ID card/number the moment they are born or become legal citizens. I just want this at no direct cost to them.

Please stop misrepresenting my positions...ones that I've held for many years and have posted here many times over.

Now, do you have an actual credible report about that Illinois issue you brought up? If you do, I will happily review it and if I'm wrong about a dominion machine, I'll gladly admit that.

So according to Tom,

All Republicans are racist towards minorities, and Democrats are a champion for minorities.

Got it.

The Great Switch Myth is one of the biggest lies ever told.

Yeah...and...he's full of **** based on actual reporting, analysis, and investigative reviews of the issue.

If you want to take his anecdotal evidence at face value, go with God.

Lastly, the way voting works in Michigan, you don't know what the machine even counted. There is no way he could possibly know that his one vote for president was switched.

We fill out paper ballots, and WE hand feed them into the machine. Nobody else does this. Then the machine just tells you that your ballot was accepted/counted and what number voter you were. And that number matches the number on the ballot id card for you so you know it worked.

I have told you and him and the rest here what happened time and time again. The county did not properly update the counting machine so it was expecting a different ballot to be inserted. The machine can't properly count a ballot it is not expecting to be inserted. This is NOT the machine seeing a vote for trump and changing it to Biden. That's not a thing. AGAIN, there is ZERO evidence of a Dominion counting machine doing this in an election.

Here...again...is the report of what actually happened. Nowhere does it fault the machine.

Quote:My investigation shows that the Antrim incident was initiated by unusual circumstances. After making last-minute revisions to certain ballot designs, workers made two key errors that directly led to inaccurate results:

(i) County staff failed to ensure that all scanners used the revised election definition; this caused the EMS to misinterpret some scanner results, leading to major election-night reporting errors (now fully corrected).

(ii) Township staff failed to ensure that all ballots used the revised ballot designs; those that did not match the scanner configurations were misread, leading to smaller errors in specific down-ballot contests (that remain uncorrected).

Antrim could have discovered these problems before incorrect results were published or deemed official, but several opportunities to do so were missed:

(i) Townships failed to notice poll tape errors during pre-election testing;

(ii) Poll workers erased memory cards, making the reporting errors harder to spot;

(iii) County staff did not adequately investigate EMS errors on election night;

(iv) County staff failed to “sanity-check” the initial results before posting them.

To their credit, the county and state quickly understood the technical cause of the major anomalies. However, during the process of correcting the original problems, further human errors occurred that led to additional inaccurate results:

(i) County staff neglected to remove bad data before publishing updated results on November 5, again causing widespread reporting errors (later corrected);

(ii) County staff made data entry errors when manually inputting results, affecting more than 2% of reported votes across the county (now fully corrected);

(iii) County canvassers failed to ensure that all results matched the poll tapes, allowing data entry errors to affect some of the certified results (now corrected);

(iv) Three ballots may have been omitted when Central Lake rescanned on November 6, which possibly changed the outcome of the Central Lake Village Marihuana Retailer Initiative.

The events in Antrim serve to remind us that elections are complex human processes that depend on the careful operation of technology and the faithful execution of procedures by people who, like everyone, occasionally make mistakes. That so many mistakes happened in Antrim speaks in part to the extreme pressures that election workers faced in 2020, amidst a pandemic and a bitterly contested presidential race.
While some of these human errors would have been harmless individually, several of the procedures that broke down were also important security protections, and the combined effect of the mistakes undermined safeguards that should have ensured accuracy. Fortunately, my analysis was able to precisely account for all known anomalies in Antrim’s November 2020 results, and none was the product of a security breach

Over 300,000 ballots in Fulton County were included in the count without proper signature verification.

That means those 300,000+ ballots are void and should not have been included in the total vote count.

Fulton County's defense? "People are taking this very seriously now." We won't do it again.

Your article is nearly a year old.

And we've covered this time and time again. NO! This in no way means those ballots are "void" or should not count. That's not how any of this works.

Additionally, the signature requirements were a procedural election rule, not a state "law."

But yes, they should have been signed, and Georgia has implemented more checks and this has not been an issue since.

trump still lost Georgia, and 2020, bigly.

They can not count if there is no chain of custody as to who and how they got into the system, dumbazz. You are admitting the election wasnt secure.

You still don't know what the **** you're talking about. No court has ever disenfranchised tens of thousands of voters for a procedural issue like that.

And once again, the audits verified the results of the embarrassing trump loss to a veritable house plant.

dum dum

a person would probably have to be a gay porn addict to see someone's anus getting owned more than yours does on this forum.

Ponder the thought of Keith Urban, while performing live, deploying this line as a lyric in one of his many lily-white, vanilla and milquetoast songs. Even Kid Rock would be humbled.

So someone who lives in Michigan and voted in the 2020 election, and saw their vote get changed right in front of their eyes is a liar according to Tom because he says voter fraud doesn't exist.

Got it.
