Yesterday, The Gateway Pundit reported on the Mockingbird Media’s new discovered fascination with Espresso County, a small Georgia county of simply 43,000 Individuals. The Washington Publish alone has printed a minimum of 4 articles within the final two weeks on Espresso. In the event you solely learn the Mockingbird Media’s account of the occasions, you could imagine {that a} rogue GOP chairwoman and “pro-Trump businessman” hijacked the Espresso County Elections workplace and snuck in a crew of black hat hackers who covertly “breached” your complete State’s election infrastructure and compromised each future election within the state all as a result of some deranged Trump supporters couldn’t deal with a loss within the “most safe election ever” and have been frantically trying to find a single shred of proof that one thing malicious occurred within the 2020 election.
This, after all, is their pipe dream. That is what they need you, the reader, to imagine. They attempt to obtain this by displaying display screen photographs of surveillance video, as if the cameras have been unbeknownst to the officers and technicians. They don’t point out what occurred in Espresso County earlier than, throughout and after their 2020 major, basic, and 2021 run-off elections. They don’t point out Espresso officers reaching out to the Secretary of State throughout the early voting within the major with main points concerning their voting machines. They don’t point out that they have been basically ignored and as a substitute needed to attain out to a neighboring jurisdiction to amass a machine from them. They don’t point out that ballots have been being rejected at an astounding charge, however much more surprising, with a minimal 4:1 bias for Trump ballots found throughout testing. They don’t point out that they couldn’t get their machines to supply an identical depend after 5 separate makes an attempt throughout the Nov. 3 machine recount, with tallies various by as a lot as 100 ballots. When Espresso officers refused to certify, the Secretary State intervened and “licensed” the outcomes for them, which is questionable as to the legality. And maybe most significantly, they don’t point out {that a} Dominion technician observing the run-off election was capable of repair the machine with only a cell-phone name to his “boss” at Dominion. In keeping with Latham’s affidavit, he by no means touched the machines nor instructed any officers to make changes. Only a telephone name.
This isn’t fully on the media, nevertheless. The depositions of these concerned, performed by plaintiffs in Curling v. Raffensperger, hardly ever, if ever, touched on the circumstances main up to the “voting software heist.” They solely addressed what occurred after the actual fact.
Now, via newly obtained paperwork by The Gateway Pundit, we’re studying why the officers in Espresso County might have felt it obligatory to herald an e-discovery preservation agency: Espresso County was issued a litigation maintain by attorneys for L. Lin Wooden, Jr. and Donald J. Trump on January fifth, 2021, two days earlier than the imaging occurred. This litigation maintain included “machines used to calculate votes, together with software program documentation related with the machines” and “USB, compact flash drives, transportable drives, and/or onerous drives of any type used for storing information referring to the election course of, votes and audits.” (see numbers 17, 26, 27, 34 of beneath docs)

It’s a cheap assumption for county election officers to imagine that using an expert information preservation service resembling Sullivan and Strickler was obligatory. Simply the night time prior, throughout the run-off tabulation, officers witnessed what was both “sheer luck” or, as Cathy Latham implied in her affidavit, some form of distant entry. With threats of pending litigation and given all the issues that Espresso County officers had documented and reported to the Secretary of State, it might have been reckless for the official chargeable for the upkeep of these machines not to make sure the info was preserved correctly, with a correct chain of custody, by an expert service that makes a speciality of that course of.
However once more: the Mockingbird Media desires you to imagine these election officers are criminals.
I’m wondering if David Becker’s Election Official Authorized Protection Fund might be contributing to the Espresso County election officers authorized protection?
