HUGE: Unsealed Affidavit By The FBI Confirms Irregularities In Fulton County Georgia’s 2020 Vote Count


This is huge!

A newly unsealed sworn affidavit by FBI special agent Hugh Raymond Evans has revealed the probable cause for the FBI’s seizure of nearly 700 boxes of election ballots in Fulton County, Georgia.

The new affidavit cited five major areas of irregularity in Fulton County’s election process under investigation.

The Washington Examiner revealed some of the irregularities that were reported on the affidavit:

A referral by a lawyer who assisted President Donald Trump‘s efforts to challenge his 2020 election defeat, Kurt Olsen, led to a recent FBI raid that seized 2020 election ballots from Fulton County, Georgia.

A newly unsealed 22-page affidavit by FBI agent Hugh Raymond Evans shows the FBI, during the Jan. 28 raid, sought a search warrant as part of a criminal investigation into whether alleged irregularities in Fulton County’s handling of the 2020 presidential election were intentional and violated federal law.

“The FBI criminal investigation originated from a referral sent by Kurt Olsen, Presidentially appointed Director of Election Security and Integrity,” Evans wrote in the affidavit, which was filed in federal court in Atlanta and unsealed Tuesday. The affidavit also identifies Georgia State Election Board member Janice Johnston, a supporter of Trump who has questioned the county’s handling of the election, as a secondary source of information for the investigation.

Evans said investigators were examining whether election improprieties in Fulton County amounted to violations of federal statutes governing the preservation of election records and the knowing deprivation of a fair election. The affidavit does not accuse any specific individual of wrongdoing.

The filing was unsealed by U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee after the chairman of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners and the county Board of Registration and Elections sued last week seeking the return of the seized ballots.

Federal prosecutors submitted the affidavit in support of a search warrant authorizing agents to seize physical ballots from the 2020 general election in Fulton County, including absentee ballots, as well as tabulator tapes from every voting machine and voter rolls documenting absentee, early, and Election Day voting.

Evans wrote that following the Nov. 3, 2020, election, “there were many allegations of electoral impropriety relating to the voting process and ballot counting in Fulton County, Georgia,” noting that while some claims had been disproven, others had been substantiated through admissions by the county.

“The tabulator machines used by Fulton County are designed to create and save a scanned image of each ballot,” Evans wrote. “Fulton County has admitted that it does not have scanned images of all the 528,777 ballots counted during the Original Count or the 527,925 ballots counted during the Recount.”

Just The News provided an excerpt of the five major irregularities listed on the affidavit:

Evans’ affidavit, dated Jan. 28, cited five major areas of irregularities under investigation, including that:

Fulton County has admitted that it does not have scanned images of all the 528,777 ballots counted during the Original Count or the 527,925 ballots counted during the state’s first recount, a major loss of evidence.
Fulton County has confirmed that during the Recount of votes, some ballots were scanned multiple times. “Ballot images made available in response to public record requests show ballots with unique markings duplicated within the ballot images,” the affidavit said.

During the Risk Limiting Audit, auditors counting the votes by hand reported vote tallies for batches inconsistent with the actual votes within the batch. “The State’s Performance Review Board reported that Secretary of State investigators confirmed inaccurate batch tallies from the Risk Limiting Audit,” the affidavit said.

Auditors assisting in the Risk Limiting Audit reported counting purported absentee ballots that had “never been creased or folded, as would be required for the ballot to be mailed to the voter and for the ballot to be returned in the sealed envelope requiring the voter’s signature for authentication.”

On the day of the deadline to report the Recount results, Fulton County reported a recount totaling 511,343 ballots, 17,434 ballots fewer than the original count. “The following day, Fulton County then reported a total of 527,925 ballots counted,” the affidavit noted.
