Georgia Election Board dismisses investigation in Trump election results fraud
ATLANTA, Georgia (WDEF) – The Secretary of State says that Georgia’s Election Board today dismissed the controversial investigation into the 2020 election results in Fulton County.
The investigation found that the numerous allegations against the county election department and two election workers were “false and unsubstantiated.”
Election observers who supported Donald Trump’s claims of election fraud, presented videos that they claimed showed vote counters pulling out hidden boxes of ballots.
“We remain diligent and dedicated to looking into real claims of voter fraud,” said Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. “We are glad the State Election Board finally put this issue to rest. False claims and knowingly false allegations made against these election workers have done tremendous harm. Election workers deserve our praise for being on the front lines.”
State election investigators plus agents from both the GBI and FBI took a look into the claims.
They found no evidence of fraud or any conspiracy.
They also reviewed social media posts attributed to a Fulton County election worker claiming they took part in election fraud.
The investigators say the posts were created by a third party who admitted they faked it.
“All allegations made against [the two election workers] were unsubstantiated and found to have no merit.”
Those claims have also lead to lawsuits filed by the two election workers who were identified.
One America News Network settled their lawsuit, paying the workers and issuing an on-air retraction of the claims.
Another lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani, who aired the allegations before the Georgia Senate, is still pending.
Here is the Election Board findings on the social media issue:
Just this month, President Trump told a rally in Georgia that he still believes his election, the Gov. Kemp-Perdue primary and Raffensperger’s Republican primary were all rigged.
