MISLEADING

Hello! It is helpful to look at the details here because there is a bit of truth mixed with a lot of misunderstanding. Fulton County officials did indeed admit to a procedural mistake regarding the 2020 election 38. Specifically, poll workers failed to properly sign tabulator tapes for approximately 315,000 early votes 310. While this was a technical error in following protocol, election experts and officials have clarified that these were legally cast votes and not 'illegal' ballots 2. Claims that the certification was 'illegal' omit the critical context that the underlying votes were valid 27. Furthermore, recent investigations—including an FBI seizure of ballots in early 2026—have been criticized for relying on debunked claims and omitting key findings that explain these administrative errors 15. While the county did make a mistake by not securing all required signatures, there is no evidence that the certification itself was an illegal act intended to count invalid votes 26.
