Why 2020 Mail-In Ballots From One Georgia County May Be Scanned Again

A judge on Friday ordered Georgia's most populous county to begin making plans to unseal at least 142,000 mail-in ballots it received in the 2020 election, clearing the way for another potential review of the ballots. The order comes in a state lawsuit filed by multiple plaintiffs alleging that fraudulent mail-in ballots were counted in Fulton County. Superior Court Judge Brian Amero ordered Fulton County, which includes much of Atlanta, and the plaintiffs to participate in a hearing at a later date to discuss the logistics for handling the paper ballots, according to county spokesperson Jessica Corbitt-Dominguez.

"We will continue to participate in the judicial process that will ultimately validate the integrity of the elections process," Corbitt-Dominguez said. The order marks the latest challenge for Fulton County in a seemingly never-ending election cycle that has included threats to election workers, a hand-audit, a recount and two high-profile U.S. Senate runoff elections.

President Biden narrowly defeated Donald Trump in Georgia, and the former president and his allies made Fulton County a target of a disinformation campaign with the goal of overturning the state's election results. Multiple federal lawsuits alleging widespread fraud in Georgia's elections have been thrown out. The news out of Georgia comes as a controversial 2020 election review in Arizona's biggest county continues, despite concerns raised by the county and the U.S. Department of Justice.

As part of the Georgia lawsuit, Fulton County had already produced scanned images of the mail-in ballots, but one of the plaintiffs, Garland Favorito, who has challenged Georgia's voting technology for years, said he wants the ballots scanned at a higher resolution so they can be "forensically analyzed."

The qgop are at each other’s throats ripping the party to pieces.

If the intention is to cast doubt on the lack of integrity of the election, there will be 2 distinct sides. Those that believe in those duly elected officials...republican I might add that oversaw the count, the recounts and the audits, then certified the vote because it was correct. And the crazies that like in Az will end up saying that ballots were shredded and fed to the chickens...seriously that’s what they are now saying!

When the crazies get done, they will still be the ones not believing in the integrity of our elections and stay home. The rest of us will be casting our ballots for Dems.
