Georgia ballots rejected by machines were later altered by election workers to count

A day after the November election, as Donald Trump and other Republican candidates clung to evaporating leads in Georgia, vote counters in Atlanta were confronted by a paper ballot known only by its anonymizing number 5150-232-18.

A Dominion Voting machine had rejected the ballot on election night because the voter had filled in boxes for both Trump and his Democratic opponent Joe Biden, an error known as an “overvote.” The machine determined neither candidate should get a tally, and the ballot was referred for human review.

The image of the ballot, obtained by Just the News, shows the voter messily scribbled a large blob in the box to select Trump as president while also putting a thinner check mark next to Biden’s name.  

At 6:10 p.m. ET on Nov. 4, 24 hours after the ballot was first scanned and rejected by Machine 5150, a panel of humans decided the vote should be awarded to Biden, with the notation “mark removed for Donald J. Trump.” …

But in 2020, adjudication played a much larger role in states like Georgia, which allowed hundreds of thousands of additional citizens to vote absentee for the first time during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In all, more than 5,000 of the 148,000 absentee ballots cast — or about 3% — in Georgia’s largest county required some form of human intervention, according to logs obtained from Fulton County by Just the News under an open records act request.

As Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry wrote last year, covid-19 provided the radical left the perfect excuse to expand the use of mail-in ballots, giving more opportunities for election interference. He wrote:

Just look at the way it all happened: Several of the states President Trump was winning on election night simply stopped counting for four or five hours. They were all synchronized. I believe Democrats were beginning to see that they didn’t have enough votes—so they had to find a way to get them.  

Then, as mail-in ballots were counted, everything changed. Those states all ended up switching over to former Vice President Biden. Isn’t that amazing?  

Mail-in ballots open the door for terrible fraud. Did you know that among the 27 countries in the European Union, 17 ban mail-in voting except in very rare cases? They know how susceptible such ballots are to fraud. Yet Democrats have used the coronavirus pandemic as a pretense to encourage as much mail-in voting as possible—and even to extend deadlines past Election Day. I truly believe they did that to enable themselves to steal this election—and I say that without apology! They have a long history of using voter fraud to sway elections.

Back in June, the Pennsylvania Democratic Party filed a lawsuit demanding that the state of Pennsylvania count mail-in ballots received up to three days after Election Day. Pennsylvania law required that mail-in ballots be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day, but the Democrats wanted to use the courts to rewrite state law. This demand was a clear act of judicial activism, but the majority of the state Supreme Court judges in Pennsylvania are elected Democrats. So on September 17, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled 4–3 to rewrite Pennsylvania’s election statutes and allow mail-in ballots to be received until November 6.  

Mr. Flurry’s article Donald Trump Is Going to Win This Election” explains how the radical left stole the election. And his update to it, “Why I Still Believe Donald Trump Is Coming Back,” explains what will happen next.
