  3. Robb Pitts:

    This conspiracy theory about counterfeit ballots has been trotted out by proponents of the' Big Lie' across the country and shot down every time, whether it's looking for bamboo in Arizona's ballots or searching for counterfeits in Fulton's, it is nonsense.

  4. Gabriel Sterling:

    The reality of what you're seeing in Georgia today is a function of the Covid situation in large part. We did lose many polling places because it's summer time so schools are closed, churches opted out, VFW halls opted out, in Fulton County specifically, they lost 40 locations and collapsed many of those locations into mega precincts which saw a lot of those amazingly long lines.

  5. Robb Pitts:

    It is outrageous that Fulton County continues to be a target of those who can not accept the results from last year's election, the votes have been counted three times, including a hand recount, and no evidence of fraud has been found. The fact remains that Fulton County safely and securely carried out an election in the midst of a public health pandemic. It's a shame to see that the' Big Lie' lives on and could cost the hardworking taxpayers of Fulton County.
