Georgia’s State Election Board is back in the news, so let’s talk about the July 12 meeting that three members unilaterally called, without the chair, and attempted to vote on proposals.

Because what Janelle King claimed in that meeting doesn’t match what open records reveal. 🧵 To refresh, on July 9, the State Election Board held a meeting that ultimately lasted all day. As 5 pm approached, Chairman John Fervier suggested the board should recess until 9 am the next morning. There was no disagreement expressed at the time.

In late 2023, the Georgia Republican Assembly adopted a *Birther* resolution, claiming Nikki Haley is Constitutionally ineligible to be President.

And in the version adopted by the NFRA, they cited the “precedent-setting U.S. Supreme Court case” of…

Dred Scott v Sandford. 😳🧵

The National Federation of Republican Assemblies adopted its version, by unanimous vote, at the NFRA Convention in October 2023.

The Georgia Republican Assembly adopted its version on December 9, 2023.

Both organizations are currently headed by Brookhaven attorney Alex Johnson.

On March 29, 2022, True the Vote spoke to a Pennsylvania Senate special committee, and presented what they said was a “pattern of life” from a supposed PA ballot trafficker.

And buried in the details of that exhibit may be the dumbest ‘evidence’ that TTV has ever offered. Approximately 15 minutes into the linked video, Gregg Phillips shows the above “Philadelphia County Methodology” map, and says “The pings you see up there are one person going to a total of 138 drop boxes.”

VoterGA is a self-styled “election integrity” organization that has advanced various election conspiracy claims, even in litigation.

VoterGA’s founder & leader is Garland Favorito. And it is underappreciated just HOW MANY conspiracy theories he has endorsed. Including 9/11 ones. This is significant because VoterGA is not just a random online outlet. It spent over $320,000 in 2022. It actively promotes legislation. Garland frequently shows up to speak at legislative and election board hearings.

But the beliefs he’s voiced are on par with Alex Jones.

True the Vote has long refused to ID its Georgia “whistleblower” who was the inspiration for their ‘2000 Mules’ work. Most recently, they told a court they don’t even know his name.

I believe he was real, TTV knows who he is, and they’ve known he’s not credible *since 2020*.

🧵 TTV’s most prominently invoked their “John Doe” in their complaint to the GA Secretary of State in Nov 2020. It claimed he came to TTV with a story of NGOs running a “ballot trafficking” scheme that he was paid to participate in.

TTV provided no evidence supporting these claims.

Between 2020 and 2022, True the Vote reported spending a total of $928,193 on “App/Website Development.”

But what apps or websites has TTV actually produced that could justifiably have cost nearly a MILLION DOLLARS total?





Their 2020 return claims they “developed a website to educate the public” and “created an app to analyze voter data,” but identifies neither by name.

The TTV website is fairly basic. OpenInk is a minimally-organized collection of uploaded docs. The IV3 app doesn’t seem to EXIST.

True the Vote's subpoena responses, where they conceded not actually possessing the evidence they'd claimed to have, has been in the news.

So let's contrast the responses they filed with the court in December 2023 with the answers their attorney submitted in June 2023. 🧵

TTV's December '23 responses filed by @MichaelWynneLaw:


TTV's June '23 responses submitted by Michael Wynne are Exhibit 10, and TTV's original complaint is Exhibit 2, to the State Election Board's petition:

GA State Sen. Colton Moore (R - the deeply MAGA NW corner of MTG’s district) really, *really* hates the Fulton Co. RICO case against Donald Trump and company. One of his responses has been to pitch a bill that would exclude certain crimes from being included in RICO prosecutions. And what he did was go through the Trump RICO indictment and just list the criminal statutes cited in it. Literally every one (except for the catchall statutes for criminal attempt, criminal soliciation, criminal conspiracy, etc.)

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:

As many have noted, Dinesh D’Souza’s #2000Mules claims that “mules” visited dozens of drop boxes each, but offers no video of even a single person at more than one drop box.

But they not only claim to possess such video, but that it’s IN THE TRAILER.

So let’s check it out. First, it is in a recent FAQ on their website that True the Vote says that video of the same person at multiple drop boxes appears in the film’s first trailer, acknowledging that the video is “extremely poor quality.”

That’s an understatement.

I paid $9 for Trump’s Motion for Emergency Injunctive Relief that was filed in Fulton County yesterday. So let’s see what it says!

First, counsel can’t seem to decide whether this Motion is being filed on behalf of all the plaintiffs or just David Shafer. 1/

#HasaDigaDonald First request made to the court: please add all other slates of electors as parties to this lawsuit.

I’m gonna predict that’s getting a big “No.”

Also, it misspells Secretary Raffensperger’s last name.
