'Horrendous': Ga. audit lawyer demands full investigation into Fulton County's ballot irregularities

A lawyer spearheading a major ballot audit inside Georgia's largest county is warning the irregularities apparent in that county's election management are "horrendous" and cut against "the basic principle of our democracy."
Atlanta-based attorney Bob Cheeley made those claims while talking to Just the News editor-in-chief John Solomon on Tuesday night's "Securing our Elections: Protecting Your Vote" special on Real America's Voice.
Cheeley is among the investigators approved by a Georgia court to audit the 2020 absentee ballots of Fulton County, Ga., a county critical to Joe Biden's historic 2020 win of Georgia that helped propel him to the White House.
Just the News in recent weeks revealed what appear to be major data discrepancies in Fulton's accounting of its absentee ballot numbers. Cheeley told Solomon on Tuesday that he and his team are working to "allow the truth to come out."
Cheeley called attention to what appeared to be instances of double-counting and double-scanning of ballots within Fulton's data, something he said "violates the basic principle of our democracy" and "smacks at the very heart of our democracy by undermining the will of the people."
He also pointed to extensive notes by an election monitor hand-picked by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger; those notes revealed the inspector's belief that "massive" election issues were playing out in Fulton County before and during the 2020 election, including double counting and serious chain-of-custody and security issues surrounding absentee ballots.
Georgia state officials "did nothing about it," Cheeley said. "So that should have raised a red flag, in my opinion, that they should have more closely scrutinized."
Asked about his degree of confidence in Fulton's election management, Cheeley called the county's performance "horrendous."
"And that's why we need an audit," he said, promising to have "10 certified document examiners lined up" to pore over the tens of thousands of absentee ballots recorded by the county.
Cheeley stressed several times that Georgia officials should have detected the errors apparent in the county's data, including what are apparently multiple instances of missing batches of absentee ballots.
"All you have to do is be able to count to see that these batches are missing," he said. "And we want to know where they are."

This wouldn't have overturned the 2020 election, however the American people know how serious these allegations are.
What is your reasoning here? Clearly if GA had gone to Trump, Biden would still be PotUS; so this could not have affected the presidential outcome. Thus you must be speaking of overturning only GA. So what are the numbers behind your reasoning? How many votes to Biden would be turned into votes for Trump if this allegation were true?
Note that missing ballots should not be presumed to be ALL for Trump; that would be irrational.
I said that it wouldn't overturn the election.
Thus you must be speaking of overturning only GA.
But I am not!
If you are really interested in my reasoning it only involves the way vote counting was handled in Fulton County. Don't we want everything done right at the polling stations? It's like when people felt I made too much of that OJ Simpson Jury. Nobody got it. There are certain things we need to be beyond reproach.
We shall see how this one turns out.
Reasoning?
After a while this shit gets old Vic. It is almost July, 2021 and people are still 'discovering' foul play.
Do you not see how extraordinary it would be if this —given all prior failed attempts— turned out to actually be "horrendous" as described?
So when this (almost certainly) fades away into nothingness, will you seed an article on the next new discovery? (I predict, yes.)
It gets old and I suspect most everyone (other than R partisans) are rolling their eyes on each new 'discovery'.
Where were you during the Russia, Russia, Russia, fiasco and the onslaught of articles and theories behind that bullshit ad nauseum right here at NT? Took a long time and they finally got him (the House anyway) on a bullshit reason. And don't use the old false equivalence defense. That dog won't hunt.
Just about every word in your comment is false.
Have you ever seen me seed an article on any partisan attack (R or D)? Ever see me cheer on the endless investigations (R or D)?
No. So take your bullshit insinuations elsewhere.
I am not the topic.
all of their election fraud conspiracies are on life support. since the remaining trumpsters have no interest in governing, they need to wring every last penny for 2022 from the morons that swallow their petrified bullshit.
It's like I said before, some people obsess over this. I don't know what they expect to change or happen. It certainly won't make any difference either way. It's all just a lot of empty claims, accusations, and/or whining.
What difference does it make however it turns out? After all the audits, recounts, legal challenges, ect., at what point is it enough? After about 9 MONTHS of this BS, it seems enough is more than enough.
That is true on all points.

How about calling your comment what it is, whataboutism.
#45 has been asked by allies and supporters to STFU about the 'stolen' 2020 election.
Just how serious is Cheely and who is funding him ... @!@ He's basically a personal injury lawyer:
Wait and see.
Do we have too? Are you not bored by losing streaks yet?
Ssssh ... The Clinton's killed the previous one.
Or maybe Donald Trump is just the most toxic loser the country has ever witnessed.
Want to bet if Don the con won, none of this would be happening...
gee, after 1/6, you'd think trumpster scum would be fully supportive then ...
He's the poorest sorest loser and such a whiny little bitch. Just won't STFU about the 'stolen' 2020 election.
Nope, that award goes to every butt-hurt and sky-screaming liberal from the last four years ..... and it's not even close.
So you still have this obsession with butt-hurtedness.
We know who the butt-hurt are!
The election official in Georgia, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, said a long time ago that every vote in Georgia was hand counted, not once but twice. Are you telling us that a hand counting of the votes would not have detected a discrepancy between the number of ballots and the number of votes recorded? Ridiculous.
Here is another allegation. ''Cheeley is full of shit''.
Sidney Powell , Lynn Wood, and Rudy Giuliani were lawyers too. Being a lawyer for Trump is more of an indictment than a plus.
Georgia has already counted the ballots by hand.
Nov 19, 2020
Any disparity between the number of votes counted and the number of ballots cast would have shown up in the hand recount. They found a small amount of ballots that had not been originally counted , including in Trump strongholds, but did not appear to find any double counted votes.
The whole country has to suffer because a good portion of the right are conspiracy nuts.
The country has suffered. I don't have to tell you who is to blame for that.
Of course not.
Yes, Trump is to blame!
A picture? To taunt us perhaps?
I think you can do better than that. After over a year of riots and the recent opening of the southern border, rising inflation, skyrocketing crime, the teaching of propaganda to young children and the attempted power grab by the radical left, even those who casted their vote for Joe Biden have got it.
How hot is the frying pan for those who were once offended by tweets?
I'm sure a lot of people are ready to cast blame. You'll find out come 2022, John.
how is in that rabbit hole you have fallen down?

As Perry Mason once asked "Your client has been charged with murder and you assured him there was nothing to worry about?"
You act like all those things are something new. Those issues have been ongoing for quite some time now.
We know! #45
You tell us John, you've been down yours for over four years. You should be pretty familiar with it by now .....
WHEN will you stop repeating that already debunked lie Vic?
The court decided that the people of that county had enough concerns to approve an audit. The results will put it to rest either way.
They already had an audit.
Well they are having another one. Why do you care? Do you live in the county?
Seems that a judge disagrees with you; and found the evidence presented enough authorize a new audit.
Damn those pesky courts; if only Democrats could appoint all of the judges everywhere. I am sure that would fix everything./S
They can't get over trump's loss.
they truly thought the fix was in...
now their autocratic puppets in state legislatures are working towards guaranteeing it for 2022.
That is your interpretation, apparently the judge sees it different and will give them audit.
Sure they did, the equivalent of letting a fox do an audit of the hen's left in a hen house.
Raffensberger , the Sec of State of Georgia who oversaw the audit, is a Republican who voted for trump.
That might explain a lot.
He's one of the foxes in the hen house. I don't exclude Republicans from being crooked. Unlike you with Democrats.
How many re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re (which won't affect the election outcome) re-re-re-re counts must be done for #45 to admit that he is a BIG FAT LOSER!
Well from the article I only read one audit has been done so far. Your rere's are dramatic.
They should be done as long as our judicial system sees it to be.
What does that mean - sees it to be?
Makes no sense
How many re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re counts must be done (that won't affect the election outcome) before #45 accepts that he is a BIG FAT LOSER WHINY LITTLE BITCH?
Hasn't that dead horse been beaten enough already?
If this turns out to be anything significant I will be shocked. How many times has this boy cried 'Wolf!'?
It won't be, anything significant, that is.
I mean, I guess like in sports if you keep giving the other team second, third, fourth etc chances EVENTUALLY they will score. Pretty sure this is not the case here.
Ninja Vic ... @!@
When it comes to their whoopings Trump and the gop are like, "Thank You America! May We Have Another?"
Yawn, okay so answer me this. If the GOP in Georgia was aware of all this why in the fuck didn’t they do ANYTHING about it? Why is it 2/3 of the way through June (8 months later) and somehow only total randos and idiots who sell pillows are privy to this startling information?
Why did this fraud ONLY occur in states Trump lost, and why are we ONLY questioning the votes for the president and not the other races on the ballots? I mean, if the presidential election results in these areas are in question then logic would dictate that so are all the house/senate and state races. But for some reason (cannot possibly guess why) all those votes are totally legit, just not votes for Biden.
Conspiracy theorists are fucking idiots.
"Conspiracy theorists are fucking idiots."
YA!
Understatement
Says one who thinks Trump is a Russian spy....
You don’t have much room to talk yourself.
Lol .... i know.
Trump is the Russian spy and Biden is the one who approved their pipeline construction but shut ours down.
Deliciously obtuse like usual ......
Yeah, what conspiracy theory have I accepted?
Do you think Trump won the election or was cheated out of it?
And of course, do you buy into ANY of the Qanon shit?
Do you think left wing instigators, the FBI, or Amrita were responsible for Jan 6.
Do you think Biden is a communist/socialist?
As I have stated other times (I guess you missed it), I do not think the election was stolen from Trump.
I don't know what the Qanon shit is so I would say no.
The global cannibal/pedophile ring and Trump is the hero who is goi g to save us from it. And you have been around here WAY too long to be clueless as to what QAnon was/is all about.
I don't pay attention to it. It doesn't interest me.
I think Biden is an idiot, is that a conspiracy theory?
Uh huh.
And no, that is not. But if you think/agree with any of the above then you do indeed buy into conspiracy theories and are therefore [deleted]
Ya!
Any of what above?
You mean like the ones that ran on "Russia, Russia, Russia" for four years?
Those fucking idiots?
