True the Vote, of #2000Mules fame, bragged about providing their research to the FBI. Last year, in the midst of the initial hubbub over @DineshDSouza's film, I attempted to get my hands on those records via FOIA.

And what I got, while very limited, was nonetheless illuminating.

Back in 2021, the GBI Director sent a letter saying that the GBI had reviewed TTV’s data, and concluded it didn’t provide probable cause of any crime.

In that letter, it gave the titles of several spreadsheets that TTV had provided to the FBI:

I made an open records request to the GBI, but any records they’d ever possessed had been returned to the FBI. Since the GBI letter noted that one spreadsheet had over a million lines, and I didn’t want to spend a fortune, I made a FOIA request to the FBI for two spreadsheets:

After much waiting and an appeal for expedited handling, I finally received two digital files.

They were almost completely redacted, due to FOIA exemptions regarding the “unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”

Thus, out of apparently 7 pages of spreadsheet data, I was given 2 pages, and even then with only 2 lines unredacted.

And yet, I believe there’s something to be gleaned from those two lines.

Firstly, the FOIA response didn't identify which document was which, but I'm fairly confident that the single page document that was fully deleted was "TTV - GA 207 of 279 Devices Pass 1 Address."

I had hoped to learn what that address was, but no such luck.

The other document, "GA 279 Devices Nationwide 10.1.2020 to 1.5.2021," seems to have originally been six pages. Four of those pages were not produced.

The other two don't tell us anything about the election, but they do tell us something about TTV and its factual rigor.

One page provides an index for the spreadsheet, with columns for "device_id", "Latitude", "Longitude", "address", and "Dwelling?"

A second page provides one line-item entry, with coordinates, an address of 2129 Corporate Dr SE, Marietta, GA, and "Yes" in the dwelling column.

The geographic coordinates (33.92126709, -84.48967516) do indeed point to 2129 Corporate Drive SE.

But, as the name suggests, it's not a dwelling. It's a commercial area, with the latitude and longitude pointing to the back alley between home decor businesses.

In other words, not only is TTV completely wrong to call this location a "Dwelling", this isn't even a residential area.

No, the specific latitude and longitude is a rear parking lot just off the interstate, behind a cabinet shop, a mattress store, and a Cracker Barrel.

I want to stress just how specific TTV's coordinates are. Both the latitude and longitude they provide go to 8 decimal places, which is geographic specificity to ~1 millimeter.

So when I say they point to the back alley between a cabinet and lighting store, I mean exactly here:

And so, even putting aside the incongruity of the "Dwelling" label...what is the ostensible significance that TTV believes this random back alley in Marietta has? It's not a residence or a polling place. And the nearest drop box is 3+ miles away, on the other side of I-75.

Thus, although the redactions made it impossible to fully analyze TTV's data, the FBI nonetheless provided me a random excerpt that still serves to illustrate just how faulty and meaningless TTV's research and data actually appear to be.

As a disclaimer, I'm obviously having to make certain educated guesses as to how to read these redacted documents. But even if I'm wrong about some detail, I'm correct about where that latitude and longitude is, and I'm genuinely baffled as to what TTV could think happened there.

And if Catherine Engelbrecht or Gregg Phillips @TrueTheVote would like to clear this up, they can always simply release their data, so the public can see their spreadsheets and all those hours of supposedly incriminating video they have.

But they haven't, and they never will.
