Fulton County admits they did not follow the rules.

After five years of trying, a citizen investigator has finally uncovered proof of widespread irregularities in the 2020 election results for Fulton County, Ga., and he wants accountability. After obtaining nearly all the county’s election records through an open records request, David Cross discovered that signatures were missing on no less than 134 tabulator tapes, representing some 315,000 votes. “This is not partisan. This is statutory,” Cross argued in a hearing earlier this month before the Georgia State Election Board (SEB). “When the law demands three signatures on tabulator tapes and the county fails to follow the rules, those 315,000 votes are, by definition, uncertified.” Cross said that the signature block was blank on every single tabulator tape the county produced for early voting (some tabulator tapes appear to be missing entirely, which is its own issue). These tapes account for just over 60% of the votes cast in 2020 in Georgia’s most populous county.

Even besides the missing signatures, Cross found multiple other red flags in the records he reviewed. “We found identical protective counters across several different polling places, polls that were opened eight days late, polls closed at impossibly late hours, like 2:09 a.m. in the morning, and poll closing times that do not match the tapes,” he listed. “We found duplicated scanner serial numbers where the memory devices were removed from one scanner and printed on an alternate scanner.” To these challenges, Ann Brumbaugh, attorney for the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, effectively pleaded “no contest.” “I’ve not seen the tapes myself,” she responded, “but we do not dispute that the tapes were not signed. It was a violation of the rule. … We don’t dispute the allegation from the 2020 election.”
