TheFBI has "substantiated" some major irregularitiesin how votes were counted in Georgia'slargest urban areain the aftermath of the 2020 election and isprobing whether those failures were intentional efforts to violate federal election law, according to a bombshell affidavit unsealed by a federal court on Tuesday.
FBI Special Agent Hugh Raymond Evans firstfiled the affidavit last month to establish probable causefor araid that seized about 700 boxes== of Georgia 2020 elections ballots from a storage warehouse in the Atlanta area, after getting a referral from Trump White House election integrity czar Kurt Olsen.
The affidavit includedinformation gleaned from FBI interviews with about a dozen unnamed witnessesrecountingvarious allegationsthat dated back to the disputed 2020 election in Georgia in which Joe Biden was narrowly declared the winner over Donald Trump.
"Some of those allegations have been disproven whilesome of those allegations have been substantiated, including throughadmissions by Fulton County," Evans wrote. "This warrant application is part of an FBI criminal investigation into whether any of theimproprieties were intentional acts that violated federal criminal laws."
Many of the substantiated allegations were previously reported by Just the News over the last five years based on its review of ballot records.
Evans' affidavit, dated Jan. 28, citedfive major areas of irregularities under investigation, including that:
Fulton Countyhas admitted thatit does not have scanned images of all the 528,777 ballotscounted during theOriginal Count or the 527,925 ballotscounted during the state's first recount,a major loss of evidence.
Fulton County hasconfirmedthat during theRecount of votes, some ballots were scanned multiple times. "Ballot images made available in response to public record requestsshow ballots with unique markings duplicatedwithin the ballot images," the affidavit said.
During the Risk Limiting Audit, auditors counting the votes by handreported vote tallies for batches inconsistent with the actual votes within the batch. "The State’s Performance Review Board reported that Secretary of State investigatorsconfirmed inaccurate batch talliesfrom the Risk Limiting Audit," the affidavit said.
