A group of Georgians still fighting for election integrity after President Joe Biden was declared the winner by a tiny margin in the Peach State Monday filed a massive challenge to the Gwinnett County Board of Elections.
“A stunning total of 37,500 affidavits are delivered to the Gwinnett County Board of Elections office in challenge of the voter rolls and handling of the 2020 Election,” said a press release from what is described as a group “team of patriotic Georgia residents.” “These affidavits include 20,000 challenges to actual votes that were certified just after the 2020 election. The submitted affidavits only include Gwinnett County vote challenges. Still, the number far exceeds the Presidential spread for the entire state of Georgia and confirms the 2020 election should not have been certified!”
MerryBelle Hodges is described as the team’s leader.
She is a descendent of Button Gwinnett, who signed the Declaration of Independence and for whom the county is named.
“In addition to conducting a ‘People’s Audit’ within Gwinnett County elections, members of this team have become precinct committeemen, run for state office, trained and become poll workers and poll watchers, studied voting machines, tabulator tapes, and viewed video of drop boxes,” she said. “The team presented invalid votes to legislators and pleaded for improvement in election bills as well as attended election board, commissioners, and school board meetings. Until the approximate 20,000 vote challenges from the 2020 election are addressed, inaccurate voter rolls cleaned up and the laws of Georgia followed pertaining to elections the people of Gwinnett will never have safe, secure and honest elections.”
Specifically, the group alleges that more than 21,000 absentee ballots were handled unlawfully, that more than 1,000 people who voted did not show up in voting records from the secretary ofsState and that more than 2,700 people voted more than once, including 249 people who voted three times.
Further, the group alleges that there were 93,462 Gwinnett County voters that no longer lived at their stated addresses, that 2,700 voter addresses were simply made up and do not exist, and that more than 2,600 people voted in Gwinnett County after having moved out of Gwinnett County.
“[The] SoS Voter History File shows evidence of inactive voters given credit for voting and
remaining inactive with no voter history update,” says the release. “Evidence of voter IDs given credit for voting in the Gwinnett election while residing in other counties. Voter IDs were given credit for voting in the 2020 election that are not on any county voter roll in Georgia during this timeframe.”
Biden won the state of Georgia by just more than 9,000 votes.
