5/24/22 DeKalb County Comm. Dist. 2 Primary: Machine Total Dropped >3000 votes

Massive machine counting errors (~20%) in DeKalb County Commissioners District 2 primary race, May 24, 2022.

Candidate Michelle Long Spears, placing third of 3 in primary, with supposedly over 23% of the total votes in District 2, received 0 votes in several precincts, including her own, where she herself, and her husband, had voted for her. She found this to be suspicious, and requested, a hand count of all ballots cast in the district. She discovered over 3000 ballots (~20%) had not been tallied by the machines, and she gained 3620 votes. She was now in the runoff, whereas before, finishing third of 3, she’d been excluded from the runoff.

Machines are not trustworthy even in downballot races.
