| Georgia secretary of state wants fired Fulton County whistle blower poll workers rehired |
| 2020-12-19 |
| [Washington Examiner] Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger admonished the decision of Fulton County election officials who fired two poll managers for "raising concerns" regarding the integrity of the November vote count in the state of Georgia. At a news conference on Friday, Raffensperger said there has been "no credible evidence of widespread fraud" but stressed the decision to fire poll managers Bridget Thorne and Suzi Voyles does not sit comfortably with the "continued strength and vibrancy of our democracy." "I condemn in the strongest terms the decision by Fulton County elections officials to fire two poll managers purely for raising concerns about the November elections," Raffensperger said. "Though we have found no credible evidence of widespread fraud, it is important that individuals can raise their voice when they believe they have seen wrongdoing. Retribution against whistleblowers poses a threat to the continued strength and vibrancy of our democracy." Thorne, a voting technician for Fulton County, claimed votes were not appropriately handled during vote counting at the State Farm Arena, where she worked. "When they came in from the warehouse, they were haphazardly treated by anybody who wanted to dump the ballots out of the scanner tabulators," Thorne said during an appearance on Fox & Friends last week. "There weren’t two people present. People were just dumping them in suitcases and then leaving the suitcases on the floor and taking a break for dinner or just quitting the job." Voyles alleged she saw a batch of hundreds of "pristine" ballots she believed had signs of being fraudulent.

| #3 Note: I have already seen a recall type effort for Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger. His days in office will be limited one this term or sooner. Want to see if you requested an Absentee Ballot? Just fill in the Selection blanks and dload the zip file with every name getting an Absentee Ballot. |

| #1 Could be handled quite easily. Demand that they be rehired immediately. Assign GBI agents to shadow them during the course of their election duties and at their residences. Use the threat of restraining orders, terminations, and jail time against anyone found voicing opposition, discriminating, or threatening either of them, or anyone else. This type of intimidation and retribution must be stopped. Set an example, and NOW. |
