A troubling narrative continues to circulate, championed even by established institutions like The Wall Street Journal, insisting the 2020 election was the “safest and most secure” in history. This unwavering stance begs a critical question: who truly benefits from perpetuating such a claim, especially when weighed against mounting evidence to the contrary?
Despite a growing body of evidence revealing potential fraud and irregularities – particularly in Georgia – the Journal recently published an opinion piece attempting to dismiss these concerns. However, a meticulous examination by Garland Favorito, co-founder of VoterGA, and his dedicated team, reveals significant flaws within the article’s reasoning.
VoterGA has become a focal point for uncovering and documenting discrepancies that many in positions of power seem determined to ignore. This resistance isn’t accidental; many officials likely owe their positions to the very irregularities VoterGA continues to expose. A detailed breakdown of the Journal’s shortcomings can be found in Favorito’s recent interview.
The Journal’s piece uncritically repeats claims made by Georgia’s Secretary of State, dismissing missing or unsigned tabulator tapes as mere “clerical errors.” This downplays a staggering reality: Fulton County alone is missing over 100 of these tapes, representing records for over 315,000 ballots – nearly matching the total from their early voting period. Without these tapes, authenticating those ballots is impossible.
Georgia law mandates reconciliation between ballots cast and verified voters. The absence of these crucial tapes renders that essential verification process completely unattainable. This isn’t a minor oversight; it strikes at the heart of election integrity.
Furthermore, the Journal attempts to discredit VoterGA’s recount findings, conveniently overlooking evidence of approximately 4,000 ballots being double-reported and nearly 4,000 others being double-scanned. VoterGA is preparing to release further details on these findings in the coming months, findings ironically corroborated by Governor Kemp’s own study, which acknowledged discrepancies in Fulton County’s recount.
Adding to the suspicion, the Journal’s article was published without any named authors, attributing it solely to the anonymous “Editorial Board.” This lack of transparency raises serious questions about the motivations and accountability behind the piece.
This all ties directly to Fulton County’s continued refusal to release ballots from the 2020 election, despite preservation orders. Such obstruction directly contradicts the Guarantee Clause of the Constitution, which enshrines the principle of majority rule and the people’s right to govern through free and fair elections.
The rise of electronic voting systems in the early 2000s marked a turning point. Increasingly, control of our elections has shifted away from “we the people” and towards a shadowy “Deep State” operating outside of public scrutiny.
The case of Tina Peters, a former Mesa County Election Clerk, vividly illustrates this struggle. Peters, an honest public servant, courageously uncovered evidence of election theft, and her reward was a nine-year prison sentence – a clear attempt to silence her.
Ironically, Peters’ voice continues to resonate from behind bars, inspiring a growing movement dedicated to continuing her vital work. Her story serves as a stark warning about the consequences of challenging the established narrative and demanding accountability in our electoral process.
