Investigation Finds Georgia Officials Decline to Prosecute or Correct the Double Voters They Catch

More than 1,700 Georgians were singled out for illegally casting two ballots in 2020 elections

Biden’s margin was about 12,000 votes there. Nice try.

'Fantastic claims, half-truths, misinformation': Georgia official says Trump supporters misled
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says 'dishonest actors' are 'exploiting the emotions of many Trump supporters.'
Joey Garrison
USA TODAY

Raffensperger said the secretary of state's office reviews "credible claims" of illegal voting and election law violations. He said it currently has 250 open cases from the 2020 election. That includes a complaint from a Republican election commissioner in Gwinnett County who alleged absentee ballots outnumbered absentee envelopes and claims about "double voters" and votes from dead people.

Open cases, under investigation, good.
Craig will probably tell us, you're guilty until proven innocent and that even if all 250 cases are fraudulent this in some way means Trump won the state. This would show his desperation in convincing others, there's wide spread voter fraud that changes the outcome of the November 3rd election. And on his planet of unreality, that would be so. But on this planet, Biden’s margin was about 12,000 votes.

It's just that you can't hear those laughing at you. 

[TechTalk]

So really what do YOU have to fear by refusing to post with your real name?

Nothing really, it's just a personal preference. My personal interactions are reserved for family, friends, and people with whom I have a personal connection. I don't have any personal connection with anyone here and therefore choose not to provide personal information. That's the short answer to a much longer set of reasons.

The only person that engages here that I've met is Andrew Rodney and that was many years ago at at a few seminars he gave on color management. The interaction was brief and impersonal—just a thanks for the informative discussion. Andrew, Bruce Fraser (who I was fortunate to get to know a little bit and who is sorely missed), and some other knowledgeable folks helped me to get started on the right foot with regard to digital color management during the early days of the transition from film to digital. Thanks Andrew.

Don Jr.’s Ex-Mistress Is Just As Aghast Over His Glassy-Eyed, Slurred Speech ‘Motel 6’ Rant As Everyone Else

It appears that Don Jr. has been acting a little odd lately.  He doesn't sound like himself. If he thinks he has a future in politics, he may want to make some adjustments.

I remember and will never tell Craig....
Just kidding. Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell Craig; he can't accept facts anyway.

You didn’t read the article, did you?

Going back to Covid-19 and yesterdays discussion of long term effects and why you don't want this even if death isn't in the cards:

On December 3, the National Institutes of Health held a two-day seminar on what has come to be called long Covid, or long-haul Covid — cases of lingering symptoms that can last for weeks or months after an initial infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently created a list of some of the persistent symptoms patients are experiencing, which include chest pain, brain fog, fatigue, and hair loss — with patients reporting many others as well.
Because these patients don’t all have the same symptoms, they will need different kinds of post-Covid care. And the NIH made clear that there are still many more questions than answers — including whose symptoms might linger for months, and how to treat them.
Doctors at the seminar said they were surprised by the scope of long Covid and its potential socioeconomic impacts. “This is a phenomenon that is really quite real and quite extensive,” said Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who spoke at the event.

You don’t understand I could care less what those people might be doing...

Oh, goodie.  That means that at least you care a little bit.

 No, I don’t even care a little bit.

Investigation Finds Georgia Officials Decline to Prosecute or Correct the Double Voters They Catch

I read the article, and researched the media it appears in and the author who wrote it, and don't think any of it is very credible, certainly nothing rising to the level of proof of voter fraud. You are certainly free to select the sources from which you obtain information and reach your own judgment as to their credibility.

I read the article, and researched the media it appears in and the author who wrote it, and don't think any of it is very credible, certainly nothing rising to the level of proof of fraud. You are certainly free to select the sources from which you obtain information and use to form your beliefs, and reach your own judgment as to their credibility.

We both read it, came to the same conclusions but you'll be asked to read it again, differently, read it upside down till there's no blood going to your brain, or there will be some other absurd push back. Whatever, it's got no bearing on the actual outcome in that state, of which it is well know, Biden won by thousands upon thousands of votes. 
As for absurd, and often so childish and insulting, without Craig's posting here, many of us would have no one to laugh at, not that he cares. Not even a little bit.





I really believe he does.

I am not inclined to spend any more time on it.

Even though you actually wrote that you could "care less"  ?

The story originated at Real Clear investigations, which is a decent site.  I’m happy to find the material credible.  Double voting is voter fraud, but your mileage may vary.

This discussion has really revealed the true nature of some people on this forum. I don't care if someone uses their real name or some pseudo name...that character rises above. I've learned not to like some of these characters that have been revealed.

[Craig Lamson]

Even though you actually wrote that you could "care less"  ?

https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/could-couldnt-care-less

What to Know
Merriam-Webster treats the phrases couldn't care less and could care less as synonymous, both meaning "not concerned or interested at all."

I mentioned in a post a week or so ago that in exchange for taxing Mar-A-Lago as a club rather than a residence, Trump entered into an agreement with the local taxing authority that no one would be permitted to reside on the premises for more than seven consecutive days or more than three non-consecutive weeks in a year. Trump's neighbors don't want him to live there, and have demanded that the Town of Palm Beach enforce the agreement and not allow him to do so. A copy of the demand letter was also addressed to the Secret Service. It is a Washington Post story, so you may not be able to read it. I am sure the issue will be reported in other media in due course.

Mar-a-Lago neighbors to Trump: Spend your post-presidency elsewhere

I read the article, and researched the media it appears in and the author who wrote it, and don't think any of it is very credible, certainly nothing rising to the level of proof of voter fraud.

Who wrote it:
Michael Patrick Leahy is the CEO and Editor-in-chief of Star News Digital Media, which owns and operates a family of state focused conservative news sites, including The Tennessee Star, The Ohio Star, The Michigan Star and The Minnesota Sun, and the host of The Tennessee Star Report, broadcast weekday mornings from 5 am to 8 am on 98.3 FM and 1510 WLAC in Nashville.

OK, conservative news sites, they are allowed (like Fox).

But the very first sentence rings alarm bells in my head:
More than 1,700 Georgians were singled out for illegally casting two ballots in 2020 elections – including last month’s hotly contested presidential race  -but their fraudulent votes weren’t canceled out, according to state election officials.

Including last month's, how many? No such data.
According to which which election officials? No such data (you'll recall, many pages back, when another news source stated they had reported sources about Trump's pardoning his lawyer, the same guy posting the URL above dismissed it).

"The majority of double voters were Democrats who cast an absentee ballot either by mail or drop box and also voted in person on Election Day, officials said, which is a felony under state law".

How many were Democrats and there were Republicans? The horror. How many? No data.
"The highest share of offenders were from Fulton County, which includes Atlanta – many of whom were allowed to cast a second ballot by poll workers, officials said".

Allowed to, and what share, what officials? No data.

"Though the number of suspected double-voting felons is the largest in state history, RealClearInvestigations has learned that no cases have been referred to the state attorney general for criminal investigation.

“This office does not have any referrals on double voting cases so far from the State Election Board related to the June 2020 primary or November 2020 general [election],” said Katie Byrd, spokesperson for Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, a Republican"

Ah, the deep state again: Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, a Republican!

“After the primary elections, Raffensperger announced that his office identified 1,000 people who voted twice in the primary".
So 700 on November 3rd? No data.

No reason to go further.
And Craig asks if we read it. Read, reviewed, suspicious of the piece. Craig eats it up, hook, line and sinker.
