The act of certifying the 2020 election in Fulton County was a travesty forced on the citizens of Georgia and America. Fulton County elections are in the hands of people who refuse to follow the law, ignore clear evidence of fraud, and chose to certify a fraudulent election, as defined by law. Fulton County’s own records tell the story.
In Fulton County, the electronic ballot images for 132,280 hand-marked absentee ballots are missing digital signatures (image authentication hash files). This sounds complicated, but it’s quite simple—without hash files, there is no way to verify the integrity and authenticity of the files or ensure that downloads have not been corrupted or tampered with. These ballots are spoiled, they knew it, they could have cured the problem, but instead they ignored the law, ignored the legally unacceptable defect, and certified anyway.
Of the 148,318 ballot images for hand-marked absentee ballots preserved by Fulton County, only 16,038 (less than 11%) have the required corresponding Secure Hash Algorithm (“SHA”) ballot image authentication files.
Visualize The Problem
Every ballot image (.tif file) should have a corresponding ballot image authentication (.sha file), as shown in the directory of some of Fulton County’s ballot images below. Look closely at every other line.
The reality is these corresponding ballot image authentication files (.sha) do not exist for most recorded hand-marked absentee ballots. The following image shows ballot image files from the same tabulator WITHOUT their required .sha authentication files. Look closely, as file directory does not look like the one above.
It Gets Worse
As if missing authentication files aren’t bad enough, the opening tabulator tapes are MISSING for nearly all of the 315,000 ballots counted in early voting. Even worse, NONE of the closing tapes are properly signed. There is literally NO CHAIN OF CUSTODY for 315,000 early voting ballots in Georgia, which is AGAINST GEORGIA LAW, so those ballots should never have been counted.
Other problems include the wiping of storage devices, thereby destroying the ability to audit and verify election results. No one can know who actually won election contests in Fulton County or the state of Georgia, because Fulton County is the largest county in Georgia and has an outsized impact on the entire state’s election results.
The proof that Georgia’s results should not have been certified is in plain sight. Federal courts regard the right to vote in a fairly conducted election as a constitutionally protected feature of United States citizenship. [Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533 (1964)]
The federal seizure of Fulton County election records is wholly justified by the county’s blatant disregard for the law and federally mandated cyber and operational procedures. Was the act of certification perjury or a fraud? Let’s finally have some transparency on this issue.
Who is Responsible?
Brad Raffensberger for one, but we can’t forget about County and State election officials with the authority to investigate and an affirmative duty to follow the law! Is this Malice, Ignorance, or Apathy? It doesn’t matter.
Malfeasance by election officials acting “under color of law” by performing such acts as diluting valid ballots with invalid ones or rendering false tabulations of votes in any election, federal or non-federal or in which federal candidates are on the ballot provide a basis for federal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. §§ 241, 242, as well as 52 U.S.C. §§ 10307(c), 10307(e), 20511(2)).*
It is past time for bad actors to be held accountable and American citizens to have TRUSTWORTHY elections and LEGITIMATE representative government.
How To Fix It
Trustworthy elections require complete end to end integrity of the system, provable at every step, with fully auditable records.
On February 18, 2026, a panel of expert auditors, selected by the bi-partisan Election Assistance Commission (EAC), testified in Washington DC that proper end to end auditing does not exist in most of the country.
The problem isn’t simply voter registrations. Or voter ID. Or machines. Or chain of custody. Or software. Or internet connections. Or destruction of data. It’s ALL OF THESE THINGS AND MORE!
We must have legally compliant systems that can prove that the voters who voted are legitimate, prove that all votes that were submitted legally were counted, and prove that the counts were accurate.
The Election Workflow Process below illustrates how to do that. It looks complicated, but focus on the red stop signs. Each stop sign represents a point in the process where a fully auditable, fully reversible, and fully compliant step must occur. Until every election official understands and complies with their duties and until every step is fully compliant with the law and transparent to Americans, every election must be held in a reversible state. Certification may not occur until this is implemented. The guilty must be held accountable
