Email Shows Top Fulton County Election Officials KNEW About Election Count Discrepancies in November 2020

Public meeting with a speaker addressing an audience, focusing on community issues and civic engagement in a formal setting.

 

On Wednesday, the Georgia State Election Board held a hearing during which Joe Rossi, co-author of the now-famous SEB Complaint 2023-025, was afforded the opportunity to finally present a rebuttal to a previously-heard report from the Secretary of State’s office in May 2024.  During that May hearing, neither Rossi nor co-author Kevin Moncla were afforded an opportunity to rebut the report to the SEB.

Among other severe issues, one of 2023-025’s claims was that 3,125 ballots were actually duplicate ballots added to the final machine count on December 4, 2020.  According to Rossi’s testimony, that number is now up to 3,900, allegedly found by the Department of Justice in its investigation, which Rossi disclosed has already begun.

Rossi showed an example of how the duplicated ballots were scanned in a way that makes it highly unlikely that it was a “human error” or mistake, and also difficult to discover.  Rossi described the “shuffling” of ballots during the hearing in the clip below:

In addition to the 3,900 duplicated ballots in the December machine recount, Rossi also discovered 6,961 ballots in Fulton County that were double- and triple-counted during the hand-recount on November 16, 2020.  This discovery was confirmed by Governor Brian Kemp’s office in November 2021, and a letter was issued to the Georgia Secretary of State from the governor’s office.

Fulton County officials and the Secretary of State’s office had repeatedly denied any discrepancy in the counts and continually pointed to the fact that there were three recounts that all aligned.

However, yesterday during the SEB hearing, Joe Rossi disclosed that the Elections Group’s Michael Prendergast sent an email to then-Deputy Director Nadine Williams and then-Elections Director Richard Barron with an attachment that detailed “multiple errors in the hand-count/audit results” consistent, but not as extensive, as those discovered by Rossi and documented in his complaint.

The email was sent on November 19, 2020, just three days after the hand-count results were reported.

Richard Barron was the then-Elections Director that reached out to another Elections Group member, Ryan Macias, via email on December 3, 2020 at 12:06pm over concerns about the second (and official) machine count coming in at approx. 511,000 votes, 17,000 votes shy of the approx. 528,000 initially reported.

By the next morning, 16,198 votes were added to the report to bring it up to the necessary number of votes.

 

WATCH:

The document Rossi presented to the SEB reads:

A November 19, 2020, email from Mr. Michael Prendergast to Deputy Elections Director Nadine Williams, and copied to Elections Director Richard Barron, carries an attachment which details multiple errors in the hand-count/audit results.  Most of which are the same errors discovered by Mr. Joe Rossi and documented by the Governor who referred the matter to the State Election Board for investigation and correction.  The case, SEB 2021-181, confirmed that 6,691 fictitious votes were in fact added to the hand-count/audit results, but were never corrected.  The email correspondence establishes that Fulton County election officials knew of the errors at the time, even the same day that the Secretary of State released the results.  Those officials knew that the hand-count/audit results did not match nor substantiate the November 03, 2020 election results.

Email correspondence discussing potential corrections and adjustments, including attachments for review, sent on November 19, 2020.

Here is that attachment (below is the attachment with the numbers for the corresponding batches as presented to the SEB):

Spreadsheet displaying a list of duplicate scanner and absentee ballot entries, highlighting potential data overlaps and naming inconsistencies for better organization.

Document showing election results discrepancies, including duplicate entries and potential errors in absentee ballot scanning in Fulton County, Georgia.

 

This is a shocking revelation considering the criminal charges levied against President Trump and his 18 co-defendants in a racketeering case for challenging election results and designating an alternate slate of electors.

Despite these inconsistencies that were discovered and concealed in Fulton County, several other counties had large discrepancies between the first machine count on November 3rd and the hand-count initiated two weeks later.  Those include the counties of Floyd (approx. 2600 extra ballots), Douglas (over 275 extra ballots), Fayette (approx. 2800 extra ballots), and Walton (284 extra ballots).  All four counties yielded net increases for President Trump.

Those same voting systems were used in the January 5, 2021 run-off election that ultimately handed the Biden administration control of the Senate with the elections of Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.

If those discrepancies had been remedied in the November 3rd count, would a run-off have been necessary?  And had Fulton County acknowledged this discrepancy, would those machines have been investigated and perhaps deemed unacceptable for use in the January 5th run-off?

Mattel’s Autistic Barbie – Fidget Spinner and All – Draws Fire from Critics as Fans Rave: ‘So Cool and So Beautiful’

Mattel’s Autistic Barbie – Fidget Spinner and All – Draws Fire from Critics as Fans Rave: ‘So Cool and So Beautiful’
January 23, 2026

There’s no bigger name in toys than Barbie, and there’s little Barbie can do that doesn’t draw a big controversy.

When Mattel unveiled its new autistic Barbie earlier this month, the goal was to “represent common ways autistic people may experience, process, and communicate about the world around them,” the company declared in a news release.

But for some critics, the result was actually more restrictions.

The doll — the latest iteration of a franchise that first appeared on the market in 1959 — has drawn fans since its Jan. 12 introduction.

“The autistic Barbie doll features elbow and wrist articulation, enabling stimming, hand flapping, and other hand gestures that some members of the autistic community use to process sensory information or express excitement,” Mattel explained in the news release.

The doll’s eyes are “shifted slightly to the side, which reflects how some members of the autistic community may avoid direct eye contact,” the release noted.

The doll also comes with a fidget spinner — a device some of those with autism use to relieve stress — headphones to cancel noise, and a simulated computer tablet used for communication, the release noted.


“Seeing a doll who is so cool and so beautiful using these devices, I think it’s gonna make a lot of kids feel like they’re able to use them too,” autistic TikTok content creator Chloé Hayden said in a video.

“I hope y’all understand how genuinely important this doll is.”

However, it has also stirred critics.

As USA Today reported last week, Krystyn Sommer, a psychology researcher and autistic mother in Australia, took to Instagram to point out that what many might see as representation might actually be distorting perceptions of autism.

“It actually turns autism into something you can see, which it is not something you can see. It is invisible,” she said. 

“Representation does two things at once. It can affirm some people and define the boundaries for others. This is where we need to be careful.”

One social media user, citing the fidget spinner and shifted eyes, said the doll reflects “basically the internet’s most shallow checklist of what autism looks like.”

“The better message might have been that any Barbie could be autistic: Doctor Barbie, Scientist Barbie, Princess Barbie.”

Controversy is nothing new for Barbie, of course. The doll has gone from beloved by little girls to hated by feminists to loved by feminists to the subject of a 2023 blockbuster motion picture that caused an even bigger splash when fans claimed it didn’t get the credit it deserved.

Nominated for Academy Awards in eight categories, “Barbie” the movie won only one Oscar — for Best Original Song.

(It lost Best Picture to “Oppenheimer” at the 2024 Oscars.)

So when Mattel introduced the autistic version, it had to know there were going to be strong opinions on both sides.

As always, the market will decide how much the venture will pay off.

Smiling man in a suit discusses Al Gore's remarks about the Trump cabinet on a Fox News program, with a lit background and a USA House logo visible.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick predicts a 5% GDP for this quarter.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick joined Jesse Watters from Davos on Thursday night after he was heckled by Al Gore during a speech.

Al Gore is famous for predicting in 2008 that the North Polar Cap would be ice free in five years. But just like the rest of Gore’s predictions that never came true and the North Pole and Greenland are still covered with snow and ice.

Lutnick joked with Jesse Watters that it was his greatest honor of my trip to Davos.

Secretary Lutnick also described the current state of the Trump economy. We are looking at numbers we have not seen in years.

And the Trump administration was able to do this with Fed Chair Jerome Powell doing all he can to wreck the economy for Trump!

Secretary Lutnick: They’ve got this whole globalist view that you want to make the world a better place. We got to make the world a better place. What that means is let’s take the richest country in the world and let’s pick them apart. Yeah. Right? And so what’s happened is the United States of America has exported 4% of our GDP growth to the rest of the world. And that was the deal. And that’s what Donald Trump called out. He said, Stop this trade deficit. Stop it. We’re exporting to everybody else.

And as soon as we stopped, and he put on tariffs, what happened? Imports went way down. Our exports go way up, and our GDP, the growth of our economy, hits 4.43% in the third quarter, just like we said it was. Let me tell you, this quarter, the one we’re sitting in right now, we will have over 5%. The world’s largest economy will be the fastest-growing economy in the whole wide world because Donald Trump said, I’m sick and tired of exporting our growth to the rest of the world. Let’s bring it home.

Passengers Applaud When Left Wing Woman is Ejected From Flight After Crazy Political Rants (VIDEO)

Passengers Applaud When Left Wing Woman is Ejected From Flight After Crazy Political Rants (VIDEO)

Screencap of Twitter/X video.

A woman was removed from a Miami flight this week after she repeatedly annoyed other passengers with her bizarre left-wing political ranting. She keeps talking about being from Minnesota and the work she does for ‘the people.’

The funniest part of the story is that in the video, which you can see below, the other passengers applaud after she is ejected from the plane.

It is sometimes easy to forget, that most people are not left wing. Average people do not want to hear crazy political rants like the ones this lady was offering.

Townhall has more details:

Air travel is tough enough on a good day. There’s always a chance for delays, a risk of turbulence (or “rough air,” depending on which airline you’re flying with), the chance your luggage will go missing, or sitting next to an unpleasant passenger for hours.

That last one is what happened on a flight in Miami this weekend, when a woman went on a rant about working for the Minnesota governor and other wild things.

The entire post reads:

According to witnesses, the woman was already furious because the airline allowed disabled passengers to board before her. Once on the plane, she began harassing another passenger who happened to be an immigrant. The confrontation reportedly went on for over 30 minutes before the airline finally removed her from the flight.

She claimed she was from New York but worked with a progressive Minnesota organization, insisting she was being removed for that reason and alleging that most of the passengers were conservatives.

Anyone who travels knows that it’s standard operating procedure for airlines to board disabled passengers first. They also often seat veterans and families with small children before regular passengers.

Watch the video below. Stay with it to the end to hear the reaction of the other passengers when she leaves:

Would anyone be surprised if this woman actually did work for Tim Walz in Minnesota? He sure seems to have a talent for picking crazy people to associate with.

It’s Gotten Worse: New MRC Study Shows Media Bias Against Trump Has Hit New High – More Than 9/10 at Times

It’s Gotten Worse: New MRC Study Shows Media Bias Against Trump Has Hit New High – More Than 9/10 at Times
January 23, 2026

If you look hard enough, you can find a silver lining, even in the atrocious behavior of the establishment media.

Unfortunately, to find that silver lining, you must first sift through weeks of actual media coverage.

In a new study of ABC’s “World News Tonight,” “CBS Evening News,” and “NBC Nightly News,” analysts at Media Research Center found that from Jan. 7 to Jan. 17, those three networks’ coverage of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, agents’ ongoing operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota, rated as negative an unfathomable 93 percent of the time, exceeding the amount of negative coverage those same networks have given to President Donald Trump in recent years.

On Jan. 7, anti-ICE activist Renee Good lost her life after trying to impede an ICE operation with her vehicle. Video showed Good disobeying law enforcement’s orders to exit her vehicle and instead hitting the accelerator. The vehicle then struck an ICE agent, who opened fire, killing the 37-year-old activist.

After Good’s death, the usual suspects tried turning her into the latest leftist martyr. Those suspects included the media’s Democrat propagandists masquerading as journalists.

Of course, media attacks on ICE really are attacks on Trump. After all, those establishment journalists did not cover ICE this way during the presidencies of Barack Obama or Joe Biden.

In past years, according to outlets such as the Washington Examiner and The Washington Times, the three major broadcast networks’ negative coverage of Trump checked in at 92 percent. It looks, therefore, as if those networks have grown even more brazen and desperate in their spewing of anti-ICE propaganda.

So where does one find a silver lining in all this negativity?

First, those nightly news broadcasts resemble a dinosaur from a different geologic era. Aside from the aging baby boomers, who nowadays gets their news from ABC, CBS, or NBC? True, the Google algorithm boosts those networks’ online coverage, as it does for all left-wing outlets. Still, those nightly news broadcasts may — and should — soon face extinction.

Second, the media propagandists have fooled no one. Americans have been onto them for a long time.

On the social media platform X, for instance, one of the most common sayings is “you don’t hate the media enough” or some variation of it, followed by the latest example of media treachery.

Finally, while we cannot say that media bias has had no impact, it certainly has not proven decisive. After all, despite (because of?) relentless media attacks, Trump won two (three?) presidential elections.

In short, imagine controlling ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MS NOW, The New York Times, the Washington Post, Hollywood, the universities, etc. — in other words, almost every major source of information and opinion in America — for decades. Then, imagine that you still failed to persuade a majority of voters — how awful must you be?

Democrat media propagandists — at least in rare moments of honesty — must look in the mirror and ask themselves that question. And that has to rate as the brightest silver lining of all.
