    How Georgia verifies signatures on absentee ballots
    By Mark Niesse, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
    Nov 19, 2020

    How Georgia verifies signatures on absentee ballots

    excerpt:

    "Before election officials counted absentee ballots in Georgia, they checked voter signatures to help make sure that ballots came from the voters who returned them.

    That verification process reviewed signatures on absentee ballot envelopes when they were received at county election offices. Then ballots are separated from envelopes to protect the secret ballot, leaving no way to link voters to the candidates they chose. The right to cast a ballot in secret is guaranteed by the state Constitution.

    Another review of signatures on absentee ballot envelopes wouldn’t change election results during Georgia’s recount. That’s because even if more voter signatures were found to be invalid, election workers couldn’t connect those faulty signatures to a ballot after it’s been removed from the envelope.

    Election officials have rejected 2,011 absentee ballots so far in this year’s general election because of mismatched or missing voter signatures, according to the secretary of state’s office. Voters returned a total of 1.32 million absentee ballots.

    The rate of absentee ballot rejections because of signature problems, 0.15%, is the same as in the 2018 election. Two years ago, there were 454 absentee rejections because of signature issues out of 284,000 absentee ballots cast."

    Signature matching Georgia why it can't be done again | 13wmaz.com

    excerpt:

    "Basically, you request an absentee ballot, and you sign an oath affirming you are who you say you are on the envelope you put that ballot in, and then you send it to the county election office. The worker there takes it, checks your signature to verify you are who you say you are, and then sends it along to be counted. That's how signature matching happens in Georgia in its most basic form.

    Now, the Georgia Secretary of State's Office actually added a signature matching step this year: When you requested an absentee ballot, they required a signature on your absentee ballot request form (or, if you requested it online, made you submit your driver's license number when you made the request through the Secretary of State's online portal).

    So they checked your signature before even sending you a ballot, and then checked it again when they received your ballot."

    I have heard that also that donnie jr. might run. Now that would be a hoot. Of course these points are moot if the whole family is locked up.

    Let's say, for the sake of the conversation, that one of the trumps does run. Do the other republican candidates acquiesce to the trump name?

    One last thought, if ted(rafael)cruz, and little marco weren't any good in 2016, why would they be any good in 2024?

    Other remarks by Trump during the briefing:

    This election was rigged
    This election was rigged
    This election was rigged
    This election was rigged

    At his Thanksgiving Day briefing, Trump made the same allegations as Sidney Powell whom he disassociated from his legal team.

    Some of Sidney Powell's accusations were made on Newsmax.


    Sidney Powell Now Claims Election Conspiracy Involved Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders

    excerpt:

    "On Saturday, Powell made even stronger claims during an interview on Newsmax. She accused Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican and key Trump ally, of accepting bribes from Dominion, the voting software company baselessly accused of switching millions of votes from Trump to Biden. She declined to provide evidence for this sensational claim, merely stating that the campaign's attorneys "have certainly been told there is evidence of that.""

    Trump blamed his poor performance of his failed Taj Mahal casino on machines that he said were on fire due to so much customer demand.

    He later contended that his casino failures were successes because he exited the casino market earlier than others who failed later supposedly worse than he did.



    ‘Loser’: How a Lifelong Fear Bookended Trump’s Presidency

    excerpt:

    "The casino wasn’t ready; among other issues, only a quarter of the slot machines were open, leaving the cavernous space quiet and empty. “It was just horrible,” recalled Mr. O’Donnell, who wrote a book about his experiences with the future president. “It didn’t look like a normal casino.”

    Privately, Mr. Trump was furious, and blamed his brother Robert for some of the problems. (The younger Trump quit and did not speak to his brother for years.) Publicly, though, Mr. Trump boasted of the wonder that was the Taj Mahal.

    Appearing on CNN’s “Larry King Live” in April 1990, Mr. Trump said the only problem with the Taj Mahal’s opening day was too much success. Gamblers were playing the slots with such ferocity that the machines almost burst into flames.

    “We had machines that — they were virtually on fire,” Mr. Trump said. “Nobody’s ever seen anything like this.”

    The Taj Mahal filed for bankruptcy the following year, which left Mr. Trump’s many lenders and bondholders in the lurch."

    Trump should use his casino failure alibi for his election loss.

    Trump: "Judge, the public voted for me so much that the Dominion machines malfunctioned and gave my votes to Biden."

    'The likes of which has never been seen before.'

    Trump was making those types of remarks in 1990.

    I am hoping this is a more common occurence.

    Anyone who says that the SCOTUS has not become politicized is delusional, and to be honest it's been that way for awhile.


    Next thing that they will say that the liberals on HF were involved.
    that's heresay, and she is nuts.

    Trump's desk looks small.

    A portrait of George Washington is on the wall behind Trump as he tells all his lies about the 2020 election.

    People have been wondering about the new desk. The old one has probably been shipped to Mara Lago, and this is the one he may be leaving Biden.

    Trump loses in court again.

    At the Thanksgiving Day briefing, Trump talked like he was making great progress in the courts and state legislatures.



    Trump loses appeal of Pennsylvania election case

    Trump loses appeal of Pennsylvania election case

    excerpt:

    "A federal appeals court on Friday rejected an attempt from President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign to keep alive its effort to undo the result of Pennsylvania’s presidential election.

    A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit wrote in a blistering opinion that the Trump campaign’s “claims have no merit.”

    The appellate court’s decision affirmed a federal judge’s ruling from a week earlier, which denied the Trump campaign’s request to block the Keystone State from certifying that President-elect Joe Biden won its election."

    You know, all this talk about matching signatures is ridiculous to me, only because I have about 5 different ways I sign my name- at LEAST 5. It’s signed...it’s done....

    To add insult to injury, that blistering opinion was written by one of Trump's own appointees, Republican judge Stephanos Bibas. He wrote: “Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.” Trump is learning what Harry Truman found out long ago: "Once you put them on the court, they cease to be your friends."

    My full name was listed on the ballot--middle name included. I signed my name the way I always sign it, middle initial only. I asked the clerk at the Board of Elections if that was okay. She said Yes. Hope she was right.

    Trump is still talking as if he ran against Obama in 2020.

    Trump apparently thinks Biden doing better in some states than Obama did in 2008 an 2012 is proof of voter fraud that helped Biden.

    Trump should tell it to the judge.


    Trump remarks at Thanksgiving Day briefing:


    "Biden beat Obama in states he shouldn't have."

    “We’re like a third world country."

    "The election is not over."

    “This election was a fraud”

    "People don't know what a poll watcher is."

    "Facts are on our side."

    The correspondent Trump lashed at was Jeff Mason of Reuters.



    Trump snaps at Reuters reporter for asking about conceding election

    excerpt:

    "Trump has previously clashed with Mason, a former president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, in several exchanges throughout his presidency. Trump mocked Mason in September when the reporter refused to take off his mask while asking the president a question.

    He also argued with Mason last year during a press conference with Finland's President Sauli Niinistö when Mason pressed Trump on his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the call that launched his impeachment."

    Trump is still ranting the day after Thanksgiving about the election

    He is demanding that Biden prove his innocence.

    The burden of proof is on Trump if he thinks the election was rigged.


    Trump:

    “Biden can only enter the White House as President if he can prove that his ridiculous ‘80,000,000 votes’ were not fraudulently or illegally obtained.”
