RE: When counties such as Dekalb in GA cannot produce

Posted on: January 5, 2021 at 21:58:42 CT

While ballot bins were pulled from under a table at a ballot counting location in Fulton County at a time when observers were no longer present, after reviewing the footage, state and county officials determined the events in the video were part of the normal process, not fraud. This theory was also included as an example of fraud in a brief filed by the Texas Attorney General that the US Supreme Court declined to consider.
When asked about the ad's claims, DeKalb County provided CNN with the chain of custody documents in question. A communications consultant hired by DeKalb County told CNN the ad's claim "lacks merit" as they "produced the same in response to open records requests," including from the Georgia Star. The Georgia Star article cited in the ad suggested the county could not find the documents because in response to their Open Records Request they were told that "it has not yet been determined if responsive records to your request exist."
However, at the time, county officials pre-emptively explained that any such delay in finding and providing responsive records was because remote working conditions and the Department of Voting, Registration and Election's workload had impacted their response time.
