On Monday, Laura Baigert of The Georgia Star News reported that a Fulton County election official admitted “a few forms are missing” and that “some procedural paperwork may have been misplaced.” However, a Star News analysis found that “385 transfer forms out of an estimated 1,565 transfer forms Fulton County said should have been provided are missing — a number that is significantly greater than ‘a few’ by any objective standard.” President Trump responded to these revelations in a Thursday statement, saying, “Thank you and congratulations to Laura Baigert of the Georgia Star News on the incredible reporting you have done. Keep going! The scam is all unraveling fast.” “There were persistent chain of custody issues throughout the entire absentee ballot processing system,” the report said. It added that “the fact that ballots were being delivered to State Farm Arena in unsecured mail carts is very concerning.” “Protocol for securing ballots exists not only to protect the ballots themselves but also to ensure that no ballot box stuffing occurred,” it said.
