DeKalb County’s LaVista Hills election investigated for tampering

[LiberalArkie]

Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp and the GBI opened an investigation Thursday into alleged voting irregularities – including a stray voting machine memory card – in the referendum that narrowly defeated the proposed city of LaVista Hills.

A DeKalb election supervisor alleged that he found an unsecured memory card Wednesday that contained results from the Briarlake Elementary precinct, according to Channel 2 Action News. It’s unknown whether the votes on the memory card were counted in the precinct’s totals, where voters supported LaVista Hills 378-313.

“As Secretary of State I take any allegation of elections fraud seriously,” Kemp said. “Our office has opened an official investigation of possible criminal activity during the Nov. 3 elections in DeKalb County.”

Leonard Piazza, the second in command at DeKalb County’s Office of Voter Registration and Elections, says there were serious irregularities regarding the LaVista vote.

1. only because it didn't pass...

by 136 votes.

Had it passed by 136 votes, this would not be news. Everyone would look the other way.

2. The LaVista area is a high end community

I'm not surprised a thwarting of the wishes of the 1% is being investigated.

3. We used to live there.

It's sad that the bluest district in the South has little pockets of fear making them want to create towns separate from liberalism.

Several 'cities' have been created in Dekalb and Fulton counties by people jealous of the racist ring of towns around Atlanta.

1%ers and Fox News devotees unite.

There is absolutely no reason or historical reference that LaVista City should exist.
