Fulton County Admits 315,000 Illegal 2020 Votes Were Counted

Fulton County admits 315,000 early votes were counted in 2020 that weren’t witnessed and sworn to, in violation of the law. It gets worse.  The machine seals were broken during the live election and the results from early voting were printed out on machines that did not tabulate the votes.

Why? Because they knew they didn’t have enough votes to overcome President Trump’s landslide. So they had to fabricate the results. (Liz Harrington)

Remember, in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Biden won the state of Georgia by a margin of 11,779 votes over Donald Trump. If 315,000 votes were invalid, the results for the whole state are invalid.

Fulton County has admitted that roughly 315,000 early votes in the 2020 election were illegally certified and counted despite mandatory poll-worker signatures being missing from tabulator tapes required by Georgia law. During a December 9 hearing before the Georgia State Election Board, county officials conceded they do not dispute that the signatures were never obtained—acknowledging a clear violation of election rules. A state investigation later substantiated that 36 of 37 advanced voting precincts failed to sign tabulation tapes, and dozens also failed to verify required “zero tapes,” undermining proof that machines started with zero votes. Election integrity activist David Cross, who obtained the records through open requests, called the failures “catastrophic breaks in chain of custody and certification,” arguing the votes were uncertified by definition and should never have been accepted by the secretary of state. Cross is seeking sanctions, public acknowledgment of violations, and decertification of Fulton County’s 2020 advanced voting results to force accountability—not to change the election outcome, but to permanently document the failure to follow the law.

ELECTION INTEGRITY: Fulton County told the Georgia State Election Board it does not dispute 315,000 early votes in 2020 were illegally counted giving Biden the win.

Fulton County admits the wrongdoing now, five years too late for it to matter. But if you bring it up when it matters, they indict you and threaten life in prison to shut you up.

We had the majority in the House, Senate, and Presidency in all of 2025… There is no excuse that we did not pass,

– Proof of citizenship
– Voter ID
– Same Day Voting
– Paper Ballots@LeaderJohnThune is a FAILURE!

Well well well…

Here’s the latest from STOLEN Georgia.

Biden: 2,473,633
Trump: 2,461,854

Biden “won” by 11,779 votes.

Fulton County admits certifying 315,000 fraudulent early votes without poll worker signatures.

Crime of the century.

People should already be in prison.

Fulton County: ‘We Don’t Dispute’ 315,000 Votes Lacking Poll Workers’ Signatures Were Counted In 2020

By: Brianna Lyman, The Federalist, December 17, 2025

Fulton County admits 2020 election did not follow rules

‘When the law demands three signatures on tabulator tapes and the county fails to follow the rules, those 315,000 votes are, by definition, uncertified.’

Earlier this month, Fulton County admitted that approximately 315,000 early votes from the 2020 election were illegally certified but were nonetheless still included in the final results of that election.

The admission came during a Dec. 9 hearing before the Georgia State Election Board (SEB) stemming from a challenge filed by David Cross, a local election integrity activist. Cross filed a challenge with the SEB in March 2022. Cross alleged that Fulton County violated Georgia statute in the handling of advanced voting ahead of the November 2020 election, counting hundreds of thousands of votes even though polling workers failed to sign off on the vote tabulation “tapes” critical to the certification process.

And Fulton County admitted to it.

Ann Brumbaugh, attorney for the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, told the SEB in the hearing that while she has “not seen the tapes” herself, the county does “not dispute that the tapes were not signed.” Brumbaugh continued, “It was a violation of the rule. We, since 2020, again, we have new leadership and a new building and a new board and a new standard operating procedures. And since then the training has been enhanced. … But … we don’t dispute the allegation from the 2020 election.”

Georgia’s Secretary of State Office investigated the alleged failure to sign tabluation tapes and “substantiated” the findings that Fulton County “violated Official Election Record Document Processes when it was discovered that thirty-six (36) out of thirty-seven (37) Advanced Voting Precincts in Fulton County, Georgia failed to sign the Tabulation Tapes as required [by statute],” according to a 2024 investigation summary. In addition to probing the unsigned tabulation tapes, the investigation also found that officials at 32 polling sites failed to verify their zero tapes.

Georgia law requires that election officials have each ballot scanner print three closing tapes at the end of each voting day. Poll workers must sign these tapes or include a documented reason for refusal. Voting laws also require poll workers to begin each day of voting by printing and signing a “zero tape” showing that voting machines are starting at zero votes.

If there is no record of whether the tabulator was set at zero at the start of polling, there is no way of telling whether ballots from a previous election (or ballots from a test run) were left on the memory card and might later be counted. Notably, this happened in Montana, where officials discovered more votes than were cast and believe the votes were leftover sample data that had not been cleared.

“These signed tapes are the sole legal certification that the reported totals are authentic,” Cross told the SEB at the Dec. 9 hearing. “Fulton County produced zero signed tabulator tapes in early voting.”

Cross stated that he obtained 77 megabytes of election records from Fulton County through an open records request that cost $15,800. According to Cross, these included 134 tabulator tapes, representing 315,000 votes. Each signature block on these tapes was blank, Cross said.

Cross also highlighted additional irregularities, such as polling locations being open at “impossibly late hours, like 2:09 a.m.” Cross also said that he found “duplicated scanner serial numbers, where the memory devices were removed from one scanner and printed on an alternate scanner.”

“These are not clerical errors. They are catastrophic breaks in chain of custody and certification,” Cross said.

“Because no tape was ever legally certified, Fulton County had no lawful authority to certify its advanced voting results to the secretary of state. Yet it did,” Cross said. “And Secretary Raffensperger accepted and folded those uncertified numbers into Georgia’s official total without questioning them. This is not partisan. This is statutory. This is the law. When the law demands three signatures on tabulator tapes and the county fails to follow the rules, those 315,000 votes are, by definition, uncertified.”

Kevin Moncla, an election integrity activist who has been at the forefront of these challenges, estimates the number is likely higher than 315,000.

Cross is asking the SEB to “impose sanctions on Fulton County, have them publicly acknowledge their violations, and for the state to decertify Fulton County’s 2020 advanced voting results. It’s not to change who sits in the White House or what the score was, but, but instead to place an indelible and permanent asterisk on the record and finally force accountability.”

The Federalist inquired with the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office as to who was responsible for accepting Fulton County’s tabulator tapes despite there being no signatures at all. The office did not return a request for comment at the time of publication.
