‘No Idea Who Voted’: GA County Official Says She Was Forced to Certify Election Without Crucial Docs
On Nov. 12, the Fulton County Board of Registration and Election (FCBRE) certified the results of the 2024 election. Except no one knows with certainty if the results were actually accurate because crucial data was withheld, according to a member of the board.
President-elect Donald Trump won the Peach State but lost Fulton County to Vice President Kamala Harris by 240,097 votes. The results were then certified on Nov. 12, but board members, who are considered the superintendents of elections, weren’t given access to all the requested election-related documentation, FCBRE member Julie Adams told The Federalist.
“I, along with all my board members, did not receive the Numbered List of Electors (the actual names along with their voter register numbers, by precinct and by the method in which they voted) or a list of the number of votes cast, by precinct or by vote method,” Adams said. “So, I have no idea who voted and the votes cast.”
The Numbered List of Electors and the Cast Votes Records, which shows the number of votes cast by precinct and vote method, is required for board members, like Adams, to ensure that there were not more votes cast than voters who voted. It’s a basic process known as reconciliation that happens before certification.
Nonetheless, Adams, along with the other board members, were forced to certify the results of the election. Fulton County Superior Judge Robert McBurney ruled in October that election superintendents may not “refuse to certify or abstain from certifying election results under any circumstance” even if there is a “non-sensical result.” (Read more from “‘No Idea Who Voted’: GA County Official Says She Was Forced to Certify Election Without Crucial Docs” HERE)
