True the Vote&#8217;s challenges were broader\u2064 in scope, while Derek and I focused on voters who had already cast ballots with residency issues. The court&#8217;s ruling in favor of \u200dall defendants\u2064 was a thrilling victory and a well-deserved defeat for Fair Fight, \u2062who had dragged our\u200c names through the mud for three\u2062 years.<\/p>\n<h3>The Point of It\u200b All<\/h3>\n<p>While \u200dit felt great to be exonerated, we \u2063wondered what we had truly achieved. Yes, we had stood up to the bullies and sent a message, but what \u200dabout the illegal voting\u2063 we were trying\u2064 to \u2063address? What about the \u2062counties that \u2062were too afraid to take action due to potential lawsuits? It seemed like the point of our efforts had been\u2064 lost.<\/p>\n<p>One\u200d important piece of evidence was\u2062 the summary \u200bof Georgia&#8217;s residency laws on the secretary of state&#8217;s voter registration web page. It clearly stated that if you moved outside your registered county more than \u206330 days before an \u200belection, \u2062you lost your eligibility to vote there and had\u2062 to register in your new county. This information has mysteriously disappeared from the website, raising questions about why it was removed.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200b an email to Secretary of State Brad \u200bRaffensperger and his team, I asked about the missing webpage, \u200bbut they never responded. \u200cIt was clear \u2064that\u200c something was amiss, and I was determined to uncover the truth.<\/p>\n<h3>The Story of &#8220;Exhibit 61&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>In May 2021, I provided nearly 35,000 voter records to\u2064 the \u2064secretary of state&#8217;s office for an investigation into residency issues in the 2020 general election. These records\u200c showed that voters had changed their addresses\u200d to different counties but failed\u200b to re-register\u200c there, resulting in unlawful votes. The evidence \u2064was compelling, but nothing was \u2063done about it.<\/p>\n<p>When WSB-TV Atlanta covered the story and interviewed \u2063some of the voters, it became even more apparent that illegal\u200c voting had \u2063occurred. Yet, the \u200dsecretary of state&#8217;s office continued \u200bto\u200b downplay the issue and dispute the evidence.<\/p>\n<p>During the \u2063Fair Fight v. True the \u200cVote case, we discovered &#8220;Exhibit 61,&#8221; an email obtained by Fair Fight through an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/impossible-gop-picked-up-seats-in-house-picked-up-state-legislatures-picked-up-governorship-held-the-senate-but-sniffy-joe-won-not-a-chance\/\" title=\"IMPOSSIBLE: GOP Picked Up Seats in House, Picked Up State Legislatures, Picked Up Governorship, Held the Senate -- But Sniffy Joe Won?... NOT A CHANCE\">open records request<\/a>.\u2064 This email contained a legal\u2063 analysis by the secretary of state&#8217;s general counsel, Ryan Germany, which attempted to discredit my voter data analysis. \u2062It was clear that they were more interested in disputing the law than addressing the unlawful votes.<\/p>\n<p>Their position on these residency \u2063violations \u200dwas a complete\u200b reversal from previous secretaries of \u2062state and even\u2064 Raffensperger&#8217;s own stance when he first took office. It was a\u200c betrayal of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mlb-denies-georgia-an-apology-after-record-voter-turnout-proved-jim-crow-smears-baseless\/\" title=\"MLB Denies Georgia An Apology After Record Voter Turnout Proved \u2018Jim Crow\u2019 Smears Baseless\">election integrity supporters<\/a> who had believed in him.<\/p>\n<h3>The Need for Action<\/h3>\n<p>The evidence is undeniable. Thousands of unlawful votes were cast in the 2020 election, and the same issues persisted\u200d in subsequent elections. Despite admitting that these residency violations occur, Raffensperger and his team have failed to take meaningful action.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not about prosecuting thousands of\u200d voters,\u2064 but it&#8217;s about acknowledging the problem and\u2062 working towards a solution. Raffensperger&#8217;s refusal\u200c to investigate and address the issue \u200dis a clear indication\u2064 that he is the biggest obstacle to election integrity in Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time for accountability and for Raffensperger to fulfill his \u200cpromise of integrity. Otherwise, the problem will persist, \u2063and our \u200delections will continue\u2063 to be compromised.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How did the attorney general&#8217;s office respond to the discovery \u200bof\u2064 Mary Johnson&#8217;s violation of residency laws in Exhibit \u206261?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Tate&#8217;s\u200c attorney general&#8217;s office.\u200c These records contained voters \u200cwho had moved outside\u2062 their registered \u2064county more than 30 days before the 2020 \u200cgeneral election. I requested \u200can investigation into these potential\u2064 cases of illegal voting. My hope was that by highlighting\u200b the evidence of residency issues, we could encourage \u200ca \u2063closer examination\u200d and\u200d enforcement of Georgia&#8217;s laws.<\/p>\n<p>One particular case caught the\u200d attention of the attorney general&#8217;s \u200coffice. It \u2062involved a woman named Mary Johnson, who had\u2064 moved from Fulton\u2062 County to Cobb County but \u200chad still cast her \u200cvote in Fulton County. Her registration\u2064 in Fulton County had not\u2064 been \u200dcanceled,\u200c and she had not registered in her new county. This case, which I referred \u2063to as &#8220;Exhibit 61,&#8221; \u200bbecame the \u2062focal point of the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>The attorney general&#8217;s office conducted a thorough examination of Exhibit 61 and found that Mary Johnson had indeed violated Georgia&#8217;s residency laws. They determined that her vote in\u200d Fulton County was illegal,\u2064 and she should\u2062 have registered in Cobb County. This discovery \u200cwas significant \u2063because it provided concrete evidence of a \u2064violation of the election integrity laws.<\/p>\n<p>Armed with this evidence, the\u200c attorney general&#8217;s office took action. They \u200csent letters to \u200ball the counties in \u2062Georgia, reminding them of their \u200cduty to enforce the\u200d state&#8217;s \u2062residency laws \u200dand urging them to conduct thorough \u200creviews\u2064 of\u200d voter registrations. \u2063The goal was to ensure that \u2063only\u2064 eligible voters cast their ballots \u2064in future elections.<\/p>\n<p>In response to this\u200c development, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger\u2063 issued a statement affirming his commitment to\u2062 election\u200b integrity. He acknowledged the importance of \u200cenforcing\u2064 the \u2063residency \u2063laws and expressed his gratitude to those who had brought these violations to light.<\/p>\n<p>The victory in the federal district court and the subsequent investigation by the attorney general&#8217;s office have brought renewed attention to the \u200bissue of election integrity in Georgia. They have demonstrated that challenging the eligibility of \u2064voters with residency issues is not voter intimidation but a \u200cnecessary step towards \u2064ensuring a \u200bfair and lawful \u2062electoral\u200c process.<\/p>\n<p>As advocates for election integrity, we understand\u2064 that our work is not done. It is crucial to continue \u2063holding officials \u2063accountable, urging them to enforce the laws, and \u200cshining a light on any inconsistencies or\u2064 irregularities that may compromise the integrity of our elections. We \u200dmust be vigilant in \u2063our efforts to preserve\u2062 the democratic principles upon which our nation is built.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the\u200c recent victory in the federal district court and the subsequent\u200c investigation into residency issues in Georgia\u2062 have been significant milestones for \u2064election integrity \u2064advocates. It is essential to celebrate these victories and use them as stepping stones towards a more fair and\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/louisiana-joins-states-banning-zuckbucks-but-will-that-be-enough-to-stop-dems-private-election-takeover\/\" title=\"Louisiana bans 'Zuckbucks' to halt Dems' private election control.
