Georgia Election Board Faces Fines Over Fulton County 2020 Voting Irregularities

25

At the December 9, 2025 Georgia State Election Board hearing, Fulton County admitted to certifying approximately 315,000 early ballots in the 2020 presidential election without required signatures on tabulator tapes, violating state law and breaking the chain of custody. This admission stemmed from a complaint filed by election integrity activist David Cross in March 2022, alleging that the county failed to provide signed tapes for these votes despite open records requests. The board voted to refer the matter to the Attorney General, imposing a $740,000 fine—calculated at $5,000 per violation for 148 unsigned tapes. These 315,000 uncertified votes, far exceeding President Trump’s 11,779-vote loss margin in Georgia, have placed a spotlight on potential fraud, though no direct evidence of altered outcomes was presented.

Cross’s original complaint, detailed in a demand letter to the board, accused Fulton County of statutory violations in handling advanced voting, demanding accountability for the unsigned tapes that legally certify vote totals. During his testimony at the December 9, 2025, hearing, Cross urged, “We should have an asterisk by the results for Georgia in 2020… trust in our elections will remain broken.” Another revelation came from county attorney Ann Brumbaugh, who acknowledged that poll pads were remotely wiped, stating, “KNOWiNK was able to remotely wipe them.” Cross countered that this implied unauthorized internet access, a critical vulnerability.

This issue underscores broader 2020 election integrity. Allegations of remote access and wiping capabilities fueled lawsuits and claims of hackability, suggesting potential manipulation without detection—echoing national debates over machine security that questioned results in battleground states. The Georgia case highlights ongoing calls for paper-based reforms to restore voter confidence amid persistent technological doubts.

    • Minimum of 5 years. Preferably 10 since this crap went a loooonggggg way to brining this country to the sorry state that it is in now. Millions and millions of people who illegally immigrated and went on the public dole. The NAZI-like Covid response (people losing their jobs, relationships destroyed, government cracking down on citizens’ refusal to comply), spying on parents who spoke out against school boards, etc.

      Punishment needs to be exacted on the perps who did this. It needs to be so punishing that nobody, EVER, considers doing this again.

      • I whole heartedly agree with you Dish. Slowly our revenge is kicking in. Look at Minnesota fraud disaster. Old Omar may wind up in the crow bar hotel. Course ide rather deport her back to Somalia.

  1. The Democrat’s illegitimately elected president, Joe Biden, messed up our country. This is the price the Democrats have to pay to have four years of the most wonderful man, President Donald John Trump, return and restore integrity to our Republic. Meanwhile, the Democrats are dealing with a form of mass hysteria and psychotic displacement, now categorized officially as, Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).

      • We both failed, Frankie. Lisa is a Democrat, but was appointed by a very weak Republican governor, in my spousal opinion.
        We could get a second, third, and fourth opinion by Sarah Palin, Joe Miller, and Kelly Tshabaka…….but like Hillary Clinton always says, “what difference does it make?”

        • Doug,
          I agree. I was too busy ripping off the bank and customers to pay mych attention. Lisa was special. The others, ….not so much. Nancy warned me that Sarah would steal my seat at the Governor’s dinner table if I appointed Lisa. But I didn’t have much choice considering the alternative that I had in mind. I just wish I knew beforehand
          that all of Lisa’s law professors were commies. They brainwashed her good, but failed to get her to study. Then, I had to pay for all of the Bar Exams that she failed. It’s been a disappointing life, as Jimmy Stewart would say.
          Merry Christmas, Doug.

          • LOL ……this sounds more like Frankie’s obituary. And he leaves us with a progenitor who’s mixed-up in the head and looks older than Nancy. Our waters are murky.

  2. Finally a very viable case, with viable consequences with far reaching tentacles into America’s Voting Fraud. I hope it reaches rising tide volocity. Palmer saw this coming years ago when it ditched the machines and went back hand counting. Like it or not, President Trump eas right in 2020.

  3. Meanwhile in AK, non-citizen’s signatures are allegedly being forged to enroll them as voters. (According to the Alaska eacon article about the couple from Kodiak facing possible deportation.)
    See that? “In the case of Benedelova and Benedela, someone along the process — likely a state employee — filled out the voter registration form in their name, copying their signatures without their knowledge or consent.”
    And the comment that electronic signatures are not supposed to be allowed for that in Alaska.

  4. Voting illregularities are the gold standard for us Democrats. Otherwise, we don’t have a chance. My nephew, NB3, is not getting my vote either. I don’t care if he brings his buddy Donald Trump to Alaska to campaign against me. I can get the governor’s seat in Alaska with dead voter rolls, Dominion voting machines, and well-placed Democrats to gather bogus early and late vote, harvested ballots. I got this one.

    • You learned from me, bro. But in the end, it never really works out well. Better to just count up your losses and walk away with the biggest PFD you can get. Tom, I hate saying this, but you’re a bigger fool than me.

      • More comedy from the Begich Brothers. Wasn’t their mom remarried to some mafia hitman? No wonder NB3 broke ranks. It seems the only sane Begich is one who actually shows up for work 🤣

  5. And, where are the leftist commenters that are saying “There is no evidence of election fraud!”
    .
    Too late to change the 2020 election, but early enough to ensure it never happens again.

  6. I fail to understand the fines.
    The State is imposing fines on the Election Board?
    Who pays that, and where does that money come from?
    The Taxpayers eventually pay for everything, but this doesn’t make sense to me.
    One Government entity fining another?
    How does that work?

  7. Uhhh….no evidence result was different….and 16 electoral votes and he still would have lost pretty easily to Joe Biden.

    I love Trump – but how does this lead to everyone re-agreeing the election was stolen?

    Do some research. this was a minor clerical error – and there is no evidence those votes were even for Biden and not Trump
