A Judge in Georgia, Ruled Friday, that an Audit of Georgia's Fulton County's Absentee Ballots can Proceed, leading One Local Official to lament that the "circus keeps on going."
Georgia was a Key Battleground State during the 2020 Election. President Biden narrowly Flipped the traditionally Conservative State Blue by a Margin of nearly 12,000 Votes.
Despite Multiple Audits of the Georgia Results, including a Full Hand Recount, former Trump and his Allies continue to Claim that Biden Won through "Widespread Fraud."
"Obviously I was just stunned to think that it has gotten this far. It's a circus that just keeps on going," Fulton County Chairman, Robb Pitts (D), said of the Decision to Allow the New Audit to move forward. "It gets to be a little ridiculous what's happening with this. Sometimes in politics, sometimes you lose, sometimes you win. In this case, the other side lost," Pitts added.
Superior Court Judge, Brian Amero, Ruled that the Audit, Requested by among other Plaintiffs, Garland Favorito, Co-Founder of the Group
Voters Organized for Trusted Election Results in Georgia, could go Forward.
However, Amero ruled that the Plaintiffs would have to:
- Cover the Costs of the Audit.
- Fulton County Officials will Maintain Custody of the Ballots throughout the Process.
The Details and Timeline have Not yet been set.
"It is outrageous that Fulton County continues to be a target of those who cannot accept the results from last year's election," Pitts said in additional Comments to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "The votes have been counted multiple times, including a hand recount, and no evidence of fraud has been found."
Georgia has already Recounted all of its Ballots Three times, including in a Hand Recount that Concluded in early December 2020.
The Election was Overseen by Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger (R), who Voted for Trump and also Donated to Trump's Campaign. "Georgians can now move forward knowing that their votes, and only their legal votes, were counted accurately, fairly, and reliably," Raffensperger said after the Third Recount was Completed late last year.
But the Plaintiffs requesting the Audit believe those Recounts are All "Illegitimate." "We've had three—what we feel like are illegitimate—attempts to determine what the election results are and I think we'll actually, this time, find out for sure what's right," Favorito said.
Former Attorney General, William Barr, who was widely seen as One of Trump's most Loyal Cabinet Members, said in December 2020, that there was "No Evidence" of Fraud that would Change the Election's Outcome.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, at the Department of Homeland Security, said last year after the Election that it was the "Most Secure in American History." The Agency, which was led by a Trump Appointee at the time, Asserted that there was "no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."
