Do you remember when Georgia’s Secretary of State declined to investigate potential voting irregularities in the aftermath of the 2020 election?
I do.
They told us it wasn’t there. It never happens. Nothing to see here, folks.
Well, it did just happen. But this time… it was discovered.
And guess who is investigating the exact sort of ballot irregularities that President Trump WANTED him to look into back in 2020?
You guessed it — Georgia’s Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger.
Here’s the story.
One minute the Republican running for re-election is out; just like so many other Republicans in votes across the country last Tuesday.
A Democrat challenger had Gerald Greene beat, according to the unconfirmed and (thankfully) unofficial vote tally.
The next minute, that all changed when someone discovered that the number of total votes didn’t jive — they were missing a few votes somewhere.
And those few vote discrepancies turned out to be all the difference in the world. The seat that had been turned blue was suddenly RED again!
Imagine that. Voting discrepancies, caught by post-election checks? Couldn’t be. (Sorry, but my sarcasm kicks in when I get riled up.)
That situation, which just played out in real-time in Georgia, is what prompted President Trump to say what so many have been thinking.
The way things currently stand, the MACHINES are now more important than the voters!
Here’s how President Trump actually put it:
Here’s the full text of the President’s post on Truth Social this morning for convenience:
The situation played out regarding the Georgia state House seat being sought by Republican incumbent Greene, and his Democrat challenger — Harry James.
Raffensperger had the nerve to tout ‘every vote matters’ this time around, as the investigation kicked off according to this report, covering the incident as it unfolded on Friday, from CBS News:
But surely that sort of thing only happens once in a blue moon, and I’m sure they always catch it and make it right. (Again, I apologize for my sarcasm. It will likely happen again.)
But let’s have a quick fact check session before we get into the details, because there are some false claims floating around.
I have seen quite a few posts gaining traction that make it sound like the entire state of Georgia ‘flipped red’ as a result of this:
While I agree with her sentiment — INVESTIGATE them ALL! — the Georgia Senate will remain just barely in the hands of Republicans come January with an expected 2-seat majority.
And the State House in Georgia will definitely flip to blue, despite this specific incident.
But just like every vote counts… every seat in a state’s legislative body counts, also.
Yet maybe more important than a single state-level seat, the mere fact that such a decisive voting discrepancy was DISCOVERED might be the biggest takeaway, here.
Are we still supposed to buy the line that ‘it never happens’…
When it JUST HAPPENED!?
And — how exactly did it happen?
A single missing memory card was apparently all it took, as reported today by Newsweek:
So, which was it?
Was the memory card actually missing, until it was found — resulting in a COMPLETELY different outcome and a Republican victory? (As the Secretary of State’s Office claims?)
Or, as the County level Election Supervisor claimed as referenced in that Newsweek article, was it simply a matter of uncounted votes from the final precinct still working on reporting in?
In either case, I have questions — the same questions President Trump tried to raise in 2020!
And my first question is how many other ‘missing memory cards’… or ‘final precinct’ scenarios… made the decisive difference in election outcomes during the midterms?
Seminole County has now certified the results, along with the previously ‘missing’ votes, according to this report from the local Fox News affiliate out of Atlanta:
So, that’s it.
The ‘apparent outcome’ of the race was flipped back to red, according to Seminole County in Georgia.
And it all hinged on a post-election check and the discovery of a single ‘missing’ memory card; the very thing President Trump has been sounding the warning about, over and over.
Wouldn’t it be great if, maybe, we had some sort of nationwide federal change to the election integrity oversight that would help minimize voter fraud and ballot discrepancies across the board?
Maybe something that would standardize these sort of post-election checks?
If ONLY such a piece of legislation could be drafted!
Hey — I know.
We could call it something catchy. Something… very Americanesque.
The SAVE America ACT! (I did warn you in advance that my sarcasm would likely show up again. But I didn’t warn you how corny it might be — sorry about that.)
Meanwhile, the US House is super busy dealing with Thomas Massie’s last-minute effort to impeach Pete Hegseth for carrying out the orders of the Commander in Chief.
Tick, Tock… Republicans. TICK, TOCK!!!
There are now less than 60 days remaining before the Democrats hold majority sway in both houses of Congress.
For goodness’ sake — get something meaningful done on the SAVE Act, already!
At this point, it may literally be the only thing that can make the difference.
