My Conversation With Georgia Election Expert Garland Favorito

Ongoing legal and procedural issues regarding election integrity in Fulton County, Georgia, particularly focusing on the aftermath of the 2020 election and the refusal of local officials to comply with court orders.

1. Election Board Dispute:

• Fulton County's Board of Commissioners, controlled by Democrats, has not allowed two Republicans to serve on the Election Board, despite a court order mandating their appointment. This defiance has led to potential daily fines of $10,000 against the county.

2. Claims of Election Fraud:

• Garland Favorito, a co-founder of VoterGA, challenges the characterization of the refused appointees as "election deniers" and emphasizes that the law entitles Republicans to their appointments regardless of personal views on election validity.

3. Unresolved Issues from 2020 Election:

• Many problems from the 2020 elections in Fulton County remain unaddressed, including allegations of unverified mail-in ballots. Favorito claims that numerous ballots seemed fake, lacking required mailing characteristics.

4. Legal Battles for Ballot Access:

• Favorito has been involved in several lawsuits since December 2020 to access and inspect mail-in ballots. After previous legal setbacks, a reversal by the Georgia Supreme Court allowed for further pursuit of this access, although he claims that recent correspondence from Fulton County indicated that no records were available.

5. Anomalies in Ballot Images:

• Favorito stated that for many mail-in ballots, digital images appear to be altered or fake, citing that discrepancies in timestamps and missing files indicate malfeasance.

6. Discrepancies in Vote Counting:

• Fulton County allegedly has more votes recorded than the supporting documents can justify. Favorito asserts that the absence of records correlating to approximately 18,000 additional votes would necessitate a new election under state law.

7. Issues with Signature Matching:

• Under oath testimonies revealed that Fulton County did not match signatures on mail-in ballots as required by law, resulting in an unusually low rejection rate for ballots.

8. Continuing Investigations:

• Favorito raises questions about whether ongoing resistance from Fulton County officials indicates a desire to hide discrepancies between certified election results and the actual ballot records.

9. Calls for Reform:

• In light of the findings from the past elections, Favorito advocates for further reforms in Georgia that would eliminate electronic voting machines in favor of hand-counted paper ballots.

Garland Favorito emphasizes the need for transparency and integrity in Georgia’s election processes, suggesting that significant irregularities reveal a deeper issue of potential misconduct. The ongoing efforts by Favorito and VoterGA aim to ensure that elections in Georgia are conducted fairly and lawfully.
