'''Georgia''' has 16 [[Electoral College]] votes in the [[2024 presidential election]]. It is a state located in the southern [[United States]], and was one of the original [[Colonial America|thirteen British colonies]] in the [[United States]].  It was the only colony not affiliated with a religious group: it was founded as a penal colony, much like [[Australia]] (though today it, like much of the American [[The South|South]], Georgia has a highly religious [[evangelical]] population).

Georgia joined the Confederate States of America, [[Confederacy]], before the beginning of the [[American Civil War]].  Today a political issue in Georgia is the buying up of farmland by the [[CCP]].

Georgia has been a [[red state]] in presidential elections since 1996, favoring [[Republican]] candidates. It last favored a [[Democratic]] Presidential candidate in 1992 when it supported [[Bill Clinton]].  However, growth in the Atlanta area has made that area solidly Democrat, as are the areas around Augusta and Macon; as the rest of the state is predominantly rural, it remains to be seen if Georgia will remain solidly red or trend toward becoming a [[purple state]] like its neighbor Florida.  Although it is disputed, some people claim that [[Joe Biden]] won Georgia by 12,284 votes in 2020.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cnn.com/election/2020/results/state/georgia|title=President:Georgia|accessdate=November 19, 2020}}</ref>

On March 6, 2020, the Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, signed off on a secret legal agreement with the [[Democratic Party]] of Georgia, the [[Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee]], and the [[Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee]] to alter [[absentee ballot]] procedures in Georgia.<ref>https://www.dropbox.com/s/ta0rze1m3flzk5o/2020-11-13%20Complaint%20-%20L.%20Wood%20v.%20Raffensperger%20et%20al.pdf?dl=0</ref> The Democrats’ attorney for this secret deal was [[Marc Elias]] from [[Perkins Coie]],<ref>https://www.indiarightnownews.com/lin-wood-files-lawsuit-challenging-georgias-secretary-of-states-dark-unconstitutional-agreement-with-hillary-attorney-marc-elias/</ref> the bagman for [[Hillary Clinton]] who hire [[FusionGPS]] to write the ''[[Steele dossier]]'' during the [[2016 presidential election]].

Raffensperger announced the state's purchase of a $106 million BMD election system from Dominion Voting Systems in July 2019. In a lawsuit, which originated in 2017, critics contend that the new system was subject to many of the same security vulnerabilities as the one it was replacing.

In an October 11, 2020 order, just weeks prior to the 2020 presidential election, U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg agreed with the concerns associated with the new Dominion voting system, writing that the case presented “serious system security vulnerability and operational issues that may place Plaintiffs and other voters at risk of deprivation of their fundamental right to cast an effective vote that is accurately counted.”

There were problems with the vote counting software of [[Dominion Election Systems]] used in 28 states. Georgia has four counties that experienced technical problems. Spalding and Morgan counties,<ref>https://www.lawofficer.com/two-georgia-counties-using-same-software-of-michigan-counties-encounter-software-glitches/</ref> Gwinnett (which led to a delay counting absentee ballots), and Fulton (which led to people being asked to fill out provisional ballots).

Voters were unable to cast machine ballots for a couple of hours in Morgan and Spalding counties after the electronic devices crashed, state officials said.  The companies “uploaded something last night, which is not normal, and it caused a glitch,” said Marcia Ridley, elections supervisor at Spalding County Board of Election. That "glitch" prevented poll workers from using the pollbooks to program smart cards that the voters insert into the voting machines.  “That is something that they don’t ever do. I’ve never seen them update anything the day before the election,” Ridley said. Ridley said she did not know what the upload contained.<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2020/11/04/georgia-election-machine-glitch-434065</ref>

According to statistician Edward Solomon, the probability of Joe Biden winning the number of votes as reported in Fulton County is 5.88 x 10⁻⁸², or roughly greater than the number of [[atom]]s in the observable [[universe]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eNr2qoHKdQ&t=676s</ref>

Jeff Carlson of ''[[The Epoch Times]]'' reported the findings of Harri Hursti, an acknowledged expert on electronic voting security.  Hursti provided a first-hand description of problems during the June 9, 2020 statewide primary election and runoff elections on August 11, 2020.

Jeff Carlson of ''[[The Epoch Times]]'' reported the findings of Harri Hursti, an acknowledged expert on electronic voting security.  Hursti provided a first-hand description of problems during the June 9, 2020, statewide primary election and runoff elections on August 11, 2020. Hursti summarized his findings:

*“The scanner and tabulation [[software]] settings being employed to determine which votes to count on hand marked paper ballots are likely causing clearly intentioned votes not to be counted”

*“The scanner and tabulation [[software]] settings being employed to determine which votes to count on hand marked paper ballots are likely causing clearly intentioned votes not to be counted”

*“The voting system is being operated in '''Fulton county''' in a manner that escalates the security risk to an extreme level.”

*“The voting system is being operated in '''Fulton county''' in a manner that escalates the security risk to an extreme level.”

Hursti also observed that “operations were repeatedly performed directly on the operating system.” The election software has no visibility into the operations of the operating system, which creates additional auditing problems, and as Hursti noted, “Unless the system is configured properly to collect file system auditing data is not complete. As the system appears not to be hardened, it is unlikely that the operating system has been configured to collect auditing data.”

As the system appears not to be hardened, it is unlikely that the operating system has been configured to collect auditing data.”

Raising even greater concerns was the apparent “complete access” that Dominion personnel appeared to have into the computer system. Hursti observed Dominion technicians troubleshooting error messages with a “trial-and-error” approach which included access into the “Computer Management” application, indicating complete access in Hursti's opinion.

As he stated in his declaration, “This means there are no meaningful access separation and privileges and roles controls protecting the county’s primary election servers. This also greatly amplifies the risk of catastrophic human error and malicious program execution.”

During these attempts to resolve the various issues that were occurring in real-time, Hursti noted that it appeared as though Dominion staff shifted from on-site attempts at remediation to off-site troubleshooting:

Originally when the [[mainstream media]] reported it at the time, a water main pipe allegedly burst, forcing the evacuation of the room where mail-in and absentee ballots were counted in the State Farm Arena.  However, these [[fake news]] reports also claimed that no ballots were damaged.

Republican election observers were forced from the room. Employees were told ballot counting ceased for the night and would resume at 8:00 AM. Four workers remained behind. Within minutes after everyone's departure, surveillance camera's revealed the workers unloading tens of thousands of ballots secreted away beneath draped tables The workers began furiously running the ballots through tabulation machines.
