Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation announced on April 27 the appointment of three people to their board of directors
They included Cicley Gay, 44, an Atlanta-based activist and mother of three who founded a network called The Amplifiers, promoting social change
Gay said she was 'taking time to build efficient infrastructure to run the largest black, abolitionist, philanthropic organization to ever exist in the United States'
Yet on Wednesday it emerged that Gay has herself been declared bankrupt in 2005, 2013 and 2016
Her most recent filing showed Gay had more than $120,000 in debts, including owing $55,000 in student loans and $18,000 for leasing a Lincoln MKZ sedan
She also claimed to have $7,000 in medical expenses and owed $8,000 to two Christian schools, according to the records obtained by The New York Post
The Atlanta activist Black Lives Matter has appointed to straighten out its finances has been declared bankrupt three times, was ordered by a court to attend financial management lessons, and has more than $120,000 in unpaid debt.
Cicely Gay's appointment was announced by BLM's Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) on April 27, as the group struggles to combat accusations that the money donated has not been wisely spent, or properly accounted for.
The 44-year-old was one of three people appointed to the board, the organization said in a tweet. She subsequently was described as being chair of the board.
She told The New York Times she had been appointed to straighten out the organization's finances, after BLMGFN faced intense scrutiny over its spending of donor cash.
'No one expected the foundation to grow at this pace and to this scale,' said Gay.
'Now, we are taking time to build efficient infrastructure to run the largest Black, abolitionist, philanthropic organization to ever exist in the United States.'
On Wednesday, it emerged that Gay has been declared bankrupt three times, according to federal reports obtained by The New York Post.

It sounds like she has a resume that would not normally result in getting hired to run a high profile non-profit. Probably would not be hired to manage an Arbys.

[GeorgiaRecord] From May 24th Primary – Election Results Changed, Electronic Database Suspected
Dekalb County, GA undertook a hand recount in the District 2 County Commission race after questions were raised over equipment ‘malfunctions’.
DeKalb VRE Executive Director Keisha Smith issued a press release to distribute the recount tabulation which changed the results and the runoff participants.
The press release does not explain the large discrepancy between the machine count on Election Night and the subsequent hand count. It also doesn’t explain the appearance of 2,810 more votes cast than were initially reported, reported Decaturish.
“This is my first time experiencing an election as a candidate. Like I’m sure many other people are, I am surprised by the significant change in the reported totals from the hand count in comparison towhat had previously been published by DeKalb Elections…I am continuing to monitor the situation and will await further news about this election. It remains important to me that every vote is counted with accuracy and reflects the voters will. Due to the limited time between now and the runoff election date, I need to continue to be prepared for the runoff as we await certification, I continue to support full transparency about this election and the ensuing tabulation of results,” said Lauren Alexander.
DeKalb VRE at first declined to release results of the hand count of paper ballots, which election workers finished at 12:30 a.m. on May 31, citing questions about the accuracy of the count.
Local Dekalb online newspaper Decaturish filed a formal records request for the immediate release of this information with an explanation about why election officials feel the hand tally count is inaccurate, or provide a legal justification for withholding the information.
Had Spears not raised questions on Election Night, it’s unclear whether the result would be in doubt at all. Some precincts were reporting she received zero votes – including her own precinct. Spears took pictures of the precinct-level results and showed them to Decaturish on Monday during day two of the hand count. Her supporters, including commissioners Jeff Rader and Ted Terry, began publicly raising questions about what happened.
“I have no disagreement with anybody who says let’s take a harder look at any of these races…I needed to be provided with more precinct by precinct data. What are the implications of any of the issues we’ve been looking at for any other races? I don’t know, said Elections Board Vice Chair Nancy Jester.

As long as their are paper ballots involved significant cheating has to come through the absentee process with respect to a statewide or national election. In counties using machine generated QR codes and flash drives without paper ballots, it becomes harder to stop electronic as well as absentee fraud.

"The Most Secure Election in History."
J.Alex Halderman has shown that electronic voting systems can be made to give the desired results wanted.
One has to wonder (although not much) why battleground states have done just about everything possible to resist scrutiny of the 2020 election results.

What is being avoided everywhere with respect to 2020 is signature match because they know that won’t match. Interesting Michigan is using signature match to disqualify GOP candidates they don’t like.
