FBI agents seize 2020 election ballots from a Fulton County elections center as part of a criminal investigation.
FBI agents seize 2020 election ballots from a Fulton County elections center as part of a criminal investigation.

A Disturbance in the Force

This is the way. Or at least this is the report. An unsealed document reveals that a referral from one Kurt Olsen a former Trump campaign lawyer led to the seizure of 2020 election ballots in Fulton County Georgia. Seems like someone's been poking around where they shouldn't. The Force is strong but political machinations can be stronger it seems. The FBI acting on this tip is now investigating possible federal criminal law violations. We all know the Empire likes to meddle in things. I've seen cleaner cantinas on Nar Shaddaa.

The Politics of Betrayal

According to the affidavit Olsen served as the Presidentially appointed Director of Election Security and Integrity. Irony much? This whole situation smells worse than a bantha's backside. This Evans fellow the FBI Special Agent thinks some alleged improprieties in Fulton County's voting processes might be intentional. I once tracked a bounty from here to the Outer Rim for less drama than this. And while we're on the subject of things going wrong maybe those involved should [CONTENT] take a Vacation Like a Boss How to Actually Relax According to a Real Psychologist.

The Gabbard Gambit

Former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard apparently made an appearance at the election center during the raid. She claims she was there on Trump's orders who claims she was there at the "insistence" of Attorney General Pam Bondi. Who knows what to believe? Seems like a lot of finger pointing going on. A real "I have spoken" situation. But I find the lack of transparency disturbing. Democratic senators are calling for an intelligence briefing on election security. Let's hope they find something more concrete than sand.

The Hunt for Missing Ballots

The warrant allowed the FBI to seize a pile of election goodies ballot tabulator tapes and vote rolls. Agent Evans noted "allegations of electoral impropriety" in Fulton County some disproven and some substantiated. One of the big issues? The county doesn't have scanned images of all the ballots counted. That's a problem. I've had droids keep better track of things.

Duplicated Efforts Missed Counts

Fulton County apparently scanned some ballots multiple times during the recount. They also reported different vote tallies on consecutive days. Auditors are reporting inconsistencies between hand counts and actual votes. It's like trying to track down a Jawa in a sandstorm. Messy and probably pointless. "This is the way" isn't going to cut it here. Someone needs to take responsibility.

A Violation No Matter the Outcome

According to the affidavit these deficiencies could be a federal law violation regardless of whether the outcome of an election was affected. So even if these screw ups didn't change the results someone could still be in a heap of trouble. This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them. Or maybe more... I need to go find some bounties that are easier to track than this election mess. I have spoken.
