ARE RUBY FREEMAN & CO WORKING THE SENATE RUNOFFs?!

Atlanta, Fulton County (1/5/21) - The GA Secretary of State's Office continues to adamantly deny any wrongdoing in the now infamous State Farm Arena video captured on election night, November 3, 2020 - showing a handful of Fulton County election workers pulling containers of ballots out from underneath
a skirted table, and counting them without poll monitors there to observe.Show more

Yet, despite the denials of wrongdoing, I have confirmed the Secretary of State's Office still has an active, open investigation into the matter. To deny there was wrongdoing, while simultaneously conducting an investigation into wrongdoing, clearly presents a conflict. Still, Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger and other officials in the SOS Office, like Gabriel Sterling, don't seem to understand why the public remains skeptical of what went on in Fulton County. President Donald Trump shares that skepticism.

In a leaked phone call between SOS Brad Raffensberger (R), his attorney, and the President over the weekend, Trump asks them about what occurred.

President Trump: "About Ruby Freeman, about early in the morning Ryan, when the woman took, when the whole gang took the stuff out from under the table. Do you know who those ballots were made out to? Do you know who they were voting for?"

[Pause]

Ryan German, SOS attorney: "No, not specifically."

President Trump: "Did you ever check?"

[Pause]

Ryan German, SOS attorney: "We... we... we did what I described to you earlier."

President Trump: "No, no no. Did you ever check the ballots that were scanned by Ruby Freeman? Known, a known political operative, uh, 'ballotier'? Did you ever check who those votes were for?"

[Pause]

Ryan German, SOS attorney: "We looked into that situation you described..."

President Trump: "No, they were 100% for Biden."

[Pause]

President Trump: "100%... there wasn't a Trump vote in the whole group."

The fact that top state officials don't seem to be aware of the ballot count following the State Farm Arena incident raises concerns, as the State continues to say no improper ballots were scanned and no fraud occurred. The investigation that is underway, a spokesman confirms, is into why the poll monitors left that night... NOT into fraudulent ballots.

Walter Jones, SOS Spokesman: "What we're investigating is a possible rule violation."

Walter Jones, SOS Spokesman: "So the law doesn't say that you can only scan ballots if monitors are there. It says the monitors are 'allowed' to be there."

Carolyn Ryan: "So what rule violation is being investigated then?"

Walter Jones, SOS Spokesman: "Whether or not the monitors were given bad information. In other words, the monitors have to be told they had permission to be there. And somebody told em something different."

While the SOS Office still trying to get to the bottom of how and why the monitors left that night... I asked Jones how they can say with such certainty that no illegal / fraudulent votes were scanned that night. Did they already complete an investigation? If so, what did it entail? Did they audit the machines? Audit the ballots that were scanned during the 2-hour timeframe when no one was there to supervise? He admitted they did NOT do those things.

Jones: "We have said that when the independent monitor that the State Election Board appointed, arrived back there that night, and that our investigator arrived there that night, they reviewed the scanning that was done and they saw nothing suspicious."

Unfortunately for the SOS Office, a simple "review" likely isn't going to cut it. Many are demanding a full forensic audit of the machines and the actual mail-in paper ballots. Not a RECOUNT of the ballots, but an actual audit of the paper they were mailed-in on.

Meantime, as the investigation into who told the monitors to leave that night and why continues... it appears at least two of the election workers at the center of the controversy, are still being allowed to work in the current Senate runoff election.

I submitted an Open Records Request to Fulton County and received this (very limited) information back:

Wandrea “Shaye” Moss Permanent employee, Registration Officer
Ruby Freeman Former Supplemental Employee
Ralph Jones, Sr. Permanent employee, Registration Chief
Lawrence Sloan Former Supplemental Employee

If, in fact Shaye Moss and Ralph Jones, Sr. are still "permanent employees" of Fulton County Elections, it would be reasonable to assume that they are working the Senate Runoff elections currently underway. In that case, Fulton County Election officials would have some explaining to do. Two veteran poll managers, Susie Voyles and Bridget Thorne were recently fired, after coming forward as 'whistleblowers', citing concerns over alleged fraud they say they witnessed in the November 3rd election. Firing two election workers who have alleged fraud, but NOT firing two election workers who are being accused of fraud, presents both an optical problem for the county, and perhaps a legal one.

While Moss and Jones are innocent until proven guilty, some have suggested a temporary suspension until the investigation is completed, would be a more appropriate route.
