True the Vote admits they made the whole thing up. IMO it is now time for criminal indictment of the "True the Vote" leaders. Conservative group tells judge it has no evidence to back its claims of Georgia ballot stuffing https://apnews.com/article/georgia-...lot-stuffing-199113b47bc2df79c63fdf007cd23115 SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — A conservative group has told a Georgia judge that it doesn’t have evidence to support its claims of illegal ballot stuffing during the the 2020 general election and a runoff two months later. Texas-based True the Vote filed complaints with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in 2021, including one in which it said it had obtained “a detailed account of coordinated efforts to collect and deposit ballots in drop boxes across metro Atlanta” during the November 2020 election and a January 2021 runoff. A Fulton County Superior Court judge in Atlanta signed an order last year requiring True the Vote to provide evidence it had collected, including the names of people who were sources of information, to state elections officials who were frustrated by the group’s refusal to share evidence with investigators. In their written response, attorneys for True the Vote said the group had no names or other documentary evidence to share. “Once again, True the Vote has proven itself untrustworthy and unable to provide a shred of evidence for a single one of their fairy-tale allegations,” Raffensperger spokesman Mike Hassinger said Wednesday. “Like all the lies about Georgia’s 2020 election, their fabricated claims of ballot harvesting have been repeatedly debunked.” True the Vote’s assertions were relied upon heavily for “2000 Mules,” a widely debunked film by conservative pundit and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza. A State Election Board investigation found that surveillance camera footage that the film claimed showed ballot stuffing actually showed people submitting ballots for themselves and family members who lived with them, which is allowed under Georgia law. The election board subpoenaed True the Vote to provide evidence that would assist it in investigating the group’s ballot trafficking allegations. True the Vote’s complaint said its investigators “spoke with several individuals regarding personal knowledge, methods, and organizations involved in ballot trafficking in Georgia.” It said one person, referred to in the complaint only as John Doe, “admitted to personally participating and provided specific information about the ballot trafficking process.” Frustrated by the group’s refusal to share evidence, Georgia officials took it to court last year. A judge ordered True the Vote to turn over names and contact information for anyone who had provided information, as well as any recordings, transcripts, witness statements or other documents supporting its allegations. The group came up empty-handed despite having “made every additional reasonable effort to locate responsive items,” its attorneys David Oles and Michael Wynne wrote in a Dec. 11 legal filing first reported Wednesday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. True the Vote’s founder and president, Catherine Engelbrecht, didn’t immediately respond to an Associated Press email seeking comment Wednesday. She and another member of the group were briefly jailed in 2022 for contempt for not complying with a court order to provide information in a defamation lawsuit. The suit accused True the Vote of falsely claiming that an election software provider stored the personal information of U.S. election workers on an unsecured server in China. Prior to the State Election Board’s investigation, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation looked into True the Vote’s assertion that it was able to use surveillance video and geospatial mobile device information to support its allegations. In a September 2021 letter, Vic Reynolds, who was then the GBI’s director, said the evidence produced did not amount to proof of ballot harvesting. State elections officials opened their own investigation after receiving True the Vote’s complaint two months later. When pressed to provide names of sources and other documentation, the group last year tried to withdraw its complaint. One of its attorneys wrote that a complete response would require True the Vote to identify people to whom it had promised confidentiality. The State Election Board refused to shelve the complaint and went to court to force True the Vote to turn over information. In addition to names, the judge ordered True the Vote to provide copies of any confidentiality agreements it had with sources. The group’s attorneys replied: “TTV has no such documents in its possession, custody, or control.”

Let's catch up with the latest from Jenna Ellis. Oh, she lost her law license for three years thanks to her endless election lies and will have to resort to some other form of prostitution to earn a living. Oh, the Karma. 'I was wrong to be involved': Ex-Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis' license suspended https://www.rawstory.com/jenna-ellis-trump-2668393929/ Former President Donald Trump's onetime lawyer Jenna Ellis can't practice law for three years, according to a new report. Ellis agreed to the suspension of her Colorado law license after pleading guilty to participating in a conspiracy to overturn Trump's election loss in Georgia in 2020, according to NBC's local affiliate 9 News. Ellis turned prosecution witness when she admitted to one count of aiding and abetting false statements. Ellis became the third attorney associated with the former president to plead guilty in the sprawling racketeering case in Fulton County, where Trump and 18 others were indicted for their roles in attempting to invalidate the state's 2020 election results to President Joe Biden. Pro-Trump attorneys Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro also took guilty pleas. As part of her guilty plea, Ellis was required to pay $5,000 to the Georgia secretary of state, perform 100 hours of community service, and write an apology letter to the residents of Georgia. When she was first censured by Colorado's Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel (OARC) in March 2023, Ellis admitted to making 10 “misrepresentations” on TV and social media during Trump's post-election battle to consolidate power after being defeated at the ballot box. The result which found that Ellis' misconduct caused "significant actual harm" by being a part of having "undermined the American public's confidence in the presidential election process" was actually a reprieve given two watchdog groups sought to have the attorney be disbarred. "Attorneys are often disbarred after being convicted of a felony, particularly where the conviction flows from criminal acts committed while acting as an attorney," the court papers read, the news outlet reported. "However, disbarment is not automatic, even for felony convictions." "While disbarment is the presumptive sanction for [Ellis'] misconduct, it is significant that her criminal culpability was due to her conduct as an accessory, not as a principal," the stipulation says. The suspension takes effect on July 2.
