Democrat Jon Ossoff Ousts GOP Sen. David Perdue in Georgia

/1 Comment/in , /by

Democrat Senate candidate Jon Ossoff defeated Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) by a narrow margin in what became the Democrats’ second victory in Georgia’s dual runoff races on Tuesday, which were set to determine which party takes control of the Senate.

The Democrat sweep creates an evenly split upper chamber in Congress of 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans, where any tied votes will be decided by Democrat Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, effectively giving Democrats control.

The Associated Press called the race just after 4:00 p.m. Wednesday. Ossoff secured 50.3 percent of the vote to Perdue’s 49.7 percent, a difference of about 25,000 votes, with 98 percent of precincts reporting.

Ossoff, a 33-year-old CEO of a film production company, livestreamed a speech at 8:00 a.m. Wednesday declaring victory. “Whether you were for me, or against me, I’ll be for you in the U.S. Senate,” Ossoff said. He reiterated his campaign message of “health, jobs, and justice” and spoke primarily about his response to coronavirus, vowing he would “trust medical expertise, doctors, and scientists” and push for a “robust public health response so that we can defeat this virus.”

Perdue has not conceded the race, though his campaign released a statement just after 2 a.m. Wednesday morning before the race had been called saying it believed Perdue would emerge as the winner. “This is an exceptionally close election that will require time and transparency to be certain the results are fair and accurate and the voices of Georgians are heard,” the statement read. “We will mobilize every available resource and exhaust every legal recourse to ensure all legally cast ballots are properly counted. We believe in the end, Senator Perdue will be victorious.” (Read more from “Democrat Jon Ossoff Ousts GOP Sen. David Perdue in Georgia” HERE)

Trump Says Senate Runoff Elections in Georgia Are ‘Illegal and Invalid’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump said the two U.S. Senate runoff elections in Georgia, which are only four days away, are “illegal and invalid.”

The flurry of tweets he sent on Friday, New Year’s Day, adds more controversy surrounding the efforts by incumbent Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue to get reelected and help Republicans retain control of the upper chamber.

Trump suggested that changes made to the voting process in multiple states, including Georgia, invalidated those contests. This is coupled with the claims of voter fraud in the election that Trump and his allies have cited to protest President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, although federal and state officials say there is no evidence showing widespread fraud.

“Before even discussing the massive corruption which took place in the 2020 Election, which gives us far more votes than is necessary to win all of the Swing States (only need three), it must be noted that the State Legislatures were not in any way responsible for the massive … changes made to the voting process, rules and regulations, many made hastily before the election, and therefore the whole State Election is not legal or Constitutional,” Trump said. “Additionally, the Georgia Consent Decree is Unconstitutional & the State 2020 Presidential Election … is therefore both illegal and invalid, and that would include the two current Senatorial Elections. In Wisconsin, Voters not asking for applications invalidates the Election. All of this without even discussing the millions of fraudulent votes that were cast or altered!” (Read more from “Trump Says Senate Runoff Elections in Georgia Are ‘Illegal and Invalid'” HERE)

Georgia Senate Panel Requests Forensic Audit of Fulton County Absentee Ballots; Georgians Worry About Voter Fraud While Casting Ballots in Senate Runoff

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Epoch Times. Georgia Senate’s Election Law Study Subcommittee unanimously passed a motion during a Dec. 30 hearing to request an audit of absentee ballots in Fulton County.

The senators are asking the state’s largest county to make the ballots “available for inspection” through a method outlined during the hearing by digital ID systems inventor Jovan Pulitzer.

Pulitzer suggested all absentee ballots in the state of Georgia be forensically examined and fraudulent ones identified in just a matter of hours. He called on state officials to allow the examination.

Officials in the Georgia Secretary of State’s office didn’t immediately respond to requests by The Epoch Times for comment on the subcommittee motion. (Read more from “Georgia Senate Panel Requests Forensic Audit of Fulton County Absentee Ballots” HERE)

Georgians Worry About Voter Fraud While Casting Ballots in Senate Runoff

By Fox 5 Atlanta. Georgians are turning out in record numbers to cast their ballot in Georgia’s U.S. Senate runoffs, but some standing in line at one Cobb County early voting location on Wednesday worry their vote won’t count.

Cobb County resident Amy Mutter told FOX 5, “I do believe there was widespread voter fraud during the Presidential Election, especially in the state of Georgia.” . .

A spokesman with the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office said they are investigating hundreds of cases of alleged election law violations and illegal voting from the 2020 Presidential Election. As Fulton County’s early voting period drew to a close Wednesday, county officials reported more than 300,000 people had voted in-person or by absentee ballot.

Homeless Man Rescues All Animals at Georgia Shelter After It Catches Fire

/0 Comments/in , /by

A homeless man risked his life to rescue several cats and dogs trapped inside an Atlanta, Georgia, animal shelter after it caught fire.

Keith Walker, 53, ran into the W-Underdogs shelter on December 18 after a fire broke out in the facility’s kitchen.

“I was nervous as hell, I’m not going to lie. I was really scared to go in there with all that smoke. But God put me there to save those animals,” Walker told CNN. “If you love a dog, you can love anyone in the world. My dog is my best friend, and I wouldn’t be here without him, so I knew I had to save all those other dogs.”

Although the shelter was not completely destroyed, the fire department deemed it uninhabitable, W-Underdogs founder Gracie Hamlin said. . .

“He is my guardian angel,” Hamlin told CNN. “Even the firefighters didn’t want to handle the dogs. They called animal control, but Keith was already in the building pulling out the cats and dogs until they were all safe.” (Read more from “Homeless Man Rescues All Animals at Georgia Shelter After It Catches Fire” HERE)

WATCH: Tucker Carlson Shows Police Bodycam Footage of Democrat Raphael Warnock’s Dispute With Ex-Wife

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired exclusively obtained police bodycam footage on Tuesday night’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” of Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Raphael Warnock and his then-wife speaking to police after a domestic dispute in March.

Warnock’s then-wife, Ouleye Ndoye, appears to tell police that her husband is “a great actor” who is “phenomenal at putting on a really good show” after he denied purposefully running over her foot.

The pastor and Democratic U.S. Senate candidate was not charged with a crime after police found no damage to his wife’s foot. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported on the incident in March as Warnock was just beginning his Senate campaign.

In the video, Warnock denies running over Ndoye’s foot and tells police that disputes between them have escalated as they were at the time in the process of getting a divorce, Fox News reported.

Georgia Senators: ‘Coordinated Illegal Activities’ Flipped Election to Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

There’s evidence that workers at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on the night of the election engaged in “coordinated illegal activities” that were sufficient to change the outcome, contend Georiga state senators in a report.

“The events at the State Farm Arena are particularly disturbing because they demonstrated intent on the part of election workers to exclude the public from viewing the counting of ballots, an intentional disregard for the law,” said the report from the state Senate’s Election Law Study Subcommittee.

The senators, the Epoch Times reported, charged that the “number of votes that could have been counted in that length of time was sufficient to change the results of the presidential election and the senatorial contests.”

“Furthermore, there appears to be coordinated illegal activities by election workers themselves who purposely placed fraudulent ballots into the final election totals,” the lawmakers said in the report, issued Thursday.

The chairman of the subcommittee that produced the report, William Ligon, a Republican, said it has not been formally approved by either the subcommittee or the committee. (Read more from “Georgia Senators: ‘Coordinated Illegal Activities’ Flipped Election to Biden” HERE)

Georgia Poll Workers Who Raised Election Concerns Got Terminated

/0 Comments/in , /by

Poll workers in Georgia who raised concerns about election irregularities were informed this week that their contracts are not being renewed, according to letters obtained by Epoch Media Group.

Bridget Thorne and Susan Voyles say they witnessed abnormal actions taken during the election in Fulton County. They’ve spoken to news outlets and state legislators about what they saw.

In the new letters, Dwight Brower, elections consultant for the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections, informs the women that Georgia law enables officials to appoint poll managers, and managers must be reappointed for each election event.

“There are many factors (management skills, performance, actions, behavior, etc.) considered prior to making reappointments for each primary or election. Unfortunately, a decision has been made to not reappoint you in a poll management or other poll positions in Fulton County,” Brower wrote.

“I see it as a direct consequence of my being honest,” Voyles told NTD, which is part of Epoch Media Group. (Read more from “Georgia Poll Workers Who Raised Election Concerns Got Terminated” HERE)

Police Reports Shed Light on Dem Senate Candidate’s Arrest for Obstruction: ‘Extremely Uncooperative and Disruptive’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Raphael Warnock repeatedly disrupted a 2002 police investigation into child abuse at a church-affiliated summer camp, interfering with interviews and discouraging counselors from speaking with investigators, according to two Maryland State Police reports obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The records indicate that Warnock, who was at the time senior pastor of the church that operated the camp, insisted that the camp’s attorneys be present. While police said the counselors themselves were free to request an attorney, Warnock could not do so on their behalf.

Warnock went on to disrupt the interviews on July 31, 2002: “This investigator informed [camp administrators] that if the counselors requested that an attorney be present that was their right, however, no one else could [invoke] their rights to an attorney on their behalf,” the report reads.

While the names in the documents are blacked out, the reports track closely with contemporaneous newspaper articles about the incident, which led to Warnock’s arrest. The charges were ultimately dropped by the state attorney. The Baltimore Sun reported on Aug. 3, 2002, that Warnock and a colleague were “accused in court documents of trying to prevent a state trooper of interviewing counselors at Camp Farthest Out” and that the ministers “interrupted a police interview of a counselor.” Warnock told the paper that he was “only asserting that lawyers should be present when the camp counselors were interviewed.”

Report: Dominion Machine Analyzed, and Yes, It Switched Votes (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A witness at a Georgia Senate hearing said an analysis of a Dominion voting machine found it flipped 37 votes in a tiny Georgia county from President Trump to Joe Biden.

Steve Bannon’s “War Room” reported someone testifying for the Trump team analyzed the machine.

The comments about the Georgia machine start about 52:30:

The Dominion systems are used in many states across the nation, including a majority of swing states where Trump had significant leads when the polls closed. Later, vote “dumps” almost exclusively for Joe Biden put the Democrat in the lead.
