There was no other way.

The English language is a freak show.

Complete bullshit, of course. I hope there’s a secure backup of the data, because you know these criminals will alter or trash votes if they can get away with it.

This also sets the stage for them to install some kind of draconian “oversight” in Fulton Co. for the 2026 midterms.

Then there's no sure bet. State Election boards are not standardized and based in local politics.

Election data in every state is that easy to access? CRAZY for sure. Did they just come up with this idea?

What chaos he'll dream up next. He's looking for voter rolls in several states. In NC our Board of Elections just handed them over. It's really scary times.

.... showing probable cause to a judge. So it isn't all that easy, depending on the jurisdiction and the circumstances.

TSF has friendly judges all over. All their plans are full steam ahead.

.... With subpoenas they can be challenged after being served, but with a search warrant they just show up and start searching. I think that's a feature, not a bug, because it doesn't allow the suspect to destroy or hide evidence. HOWEVER, if it goes to court, you can move to have the evidence thrown out if the warrant was defective.

One thing to remember is that Fulton Co is a special case. Normally, the retention period for election results is 22 months there. Normally, the seized material would have been disposed of long ago, but in this case they were under a court order to preserve it. Other states and counties would not have results laying around to be seized.

It is also the case that secretaries of state are closely cooperating with one another, and if this became a widespread general practice they would all start fighting back.

RELEASE THE FILES

Whatever comes of this, will be horseshit.

Why are they there now? So they can go in and just make shit up to make the orange potato feel better?

... three recounts in Fulton Co. So this isn't going anywhere.
