The Georgia Election Board voted Tuesday to reprimand Fulton County for its conduct of the 2020 election and direct the appointment of an independent monitor to oversee this fall's general election.
The Georgia Recorder reported that the 2-1 vote came after investigators from the Georgia secretary of state's office confirmed the county double-scanned 3,075 ballots during a statewide recount of the 2020 presidential election.
During the Election Board meeting, an investigator noted that an independent audit published in January 2021 and a Performance Review Board review, requested by the Georgia lawmakers and released in January 2023, found significant issues in Fulton County's handling of ballots.
Georgia voter Joe Rossi alleged in a complaint reviewed by the board that the 2020 election was flawed, both in the machine count to certify the election and the hand recount done afterward.
"So if you had 3,000 ballots that were counted twice, you would expect the results to be larger by that amount." Johnston also asked about 17,000 ballots that were counted but not scanned, wondering if the ballots really existed.
" "VINDICATED." Investigator Joseph Rossi unleashes after Fulton County Board finds 2020 election was run ILLEGALLY. "It has now been factually proven both the HAND AUDIT and the Certified Machine Count were found in violation of Georgia Election Law."
Protocol for securing ballots exists not only to protect the ballots themselves but also to ensure that no ballot box stuffing occurred.
