Re: Official Complaint Detailing Faults of the 2020 Fulton County Recount

Dear Board Members:

As you know, I have submitted ten complaints to the State Election Board (the
“Board” or “SEB”) over the past two years, some with Joe Rossi, some with David Cross, and
some alone.1 I hope you appreciate the complaints have been rigorously researched, detailed,
and supported by documentation. Each one shows – at the very least – probable cause to show
multiple and repeated violations of Georgia law. These complaints at least deserve a detailed
investigation and explanation of why I and my fellow complainants are wrong. We are happy
to be corrected. So far, not a single complaint has been seriously investigated by the Board.
Mr. Mashburn, is this what you were referring to when you stated that “…every complaint is
treated with the same respect.”? I hasten to correct you, but the proper term in this context is
disrespect.

I understand that the Board cannot properly investigate because it does not have the
necessary funding. I understand that the Board relies on investigators from the Secretary of
State. That, of course, is obviously a severely deficient process – many of these complaints

The previous complaints may be found at the addresses listed on Annex A to this letter (links to my uploads on
Scribd.com). Only one of these complaints was assigned a “case number” for investigation. While Chairman
William Duffey expressed interest in these complaints, we had to send him the complaint five (5) times before he
responded, and then he responded with a specious explanation from an unidentified “technician” from Dominion
Voting Systems. We provided declarations from three election machine experts to refute that specious explanation
but have heard nothing further. See expert declarations included in reference to Complaint Number 9 on Annex A.

show wrongdoing, gross negligence, or incompetence by the Secretary of State, its officers,
and the counties that it is charged with supervising. It is not a shock to understand that the
Secretary of State is not going to investigate itself. Further, we understand that when the
Board “refers” a matter to the Attorney General for “investigation” (as was done, for example
with Case No. 2021-181 on March 16, 2022), the Attorney General’s office has no
investigators to investigate, and simply is used to delay action on the referral. (In the case of
2021-181, which showed 4,583 non-existent Biden votes had been falsely added to the total
vote count in Fulton County, the Attorney General reverted with a meaningless consent decree
after 15 months – a consent decree which was not even read by the Board before it was
approved. How is that consistent with your duties to the citizens of Georgia, much less to a
person seeking that the law be followed?

In the instant Complaint (our Complaint Number 11), we provide a small ballot-level
analysis (with pictures) which demonstrates, once again, that Americans have no reason to
trust – and every reason to question – Georgia’s disgraceful election system. The ballots
referenced in this complaint should never have been counted, and while the number is small
(only 5), the fact that even one exists shows a massive breakdown in processes in the 2020
election that allowed ballots from one county to be processed and counted in another county.
This is another serious complaint, and we hope that you take your duties to investigate
seriously. See O.C.G.A. 21-2-31.

THE FAILURES REVEALED BY FIVE ATTACHED BALLOTS

By comparing ballot images and data from the original November 3, 2020, machine
count of the votes in that election (hereinafter “Original Count”) and those of the machine
recount which commenced on November 24, 2020 (the “Recount”), we identified significant
and obvious irregularities.

For purposes of this Complaint, please note that we identified five (5) Dekalb County
ballots which were included and counted in Fulton County’s Original Count2, Hand
Count/Audit, which began on November 13, 2020 (the “Hand Count Audit”), and the
Recount.3 An impossible succession of multiple failures would have to precipitate a ballot
from one Georgia county to be counted in a different county, much less five ballots -- for five
different precincts and three separate counts.

A true and correct copy of each of the Dekalb County ballot images counted and included in the Fulton County
2020 General Election results is attached hereto as “Exhibit A”. Each ballot can also be viewed at the
corresponding links below:

counted again for the Recount is attached hereto as “Exhibit B”.

We can identify at least the following failures by Fulton County and, for its failure to
provide oversight to the obvious errors, the Secretary of State:

1. Ballot envelope barcode scan for voter credit. Upon receipt of absentee ballots,
Fulton County scans the envelope barcode which is unique to the voter who
requested the ballot and marks the voter as having voted. Please investigate how an
absentee ballot from Dekalb County could be processed by barcode without anyone
spotting these obvious errors.

2. Voter Signature Verification – Signature verification is performed using a


comparison of the signatures on file with the county verifying the signature, based
on the ballot application or the original registration. How could Fulton County
have properly verified signatures from voters not resident in Fulton County?4

3. Scanning Ballot Definition – The Dominion Voting Machine tabulators only read
ballot styles for which they are programmed - and Fulton County’s tabulators are
only programmed to read Fulton County ballots. The Dekalb ballots were each of a
different ballot style and for different precincts, of a different county. How were
these ballots read by multiple Fulton County tabulators? (All five ballots were
scanned independently on different tabulators.)

4. Adjudication – Three (3) of the five (5) Dekalb ballots survived the adjudication
process, and each was processed by a different adjudication panel. How could
these ballots have survived the adjudication process? Could the persons who
adjudicated these ballots be investigated? It seems appropriate to at least ask the
question, even if, as we stated above, the Board has no real investigatory powers.

5. Hand Count Audit - The Dekalb County ballots also survived the Hand-
Count/Audit and were undetected. These same ballots appear again in the Recount
after not being flagged in the Hand-Count Audit. Who conducted the Hand Count?
What explanation exists for not spotting a Dekalb County ballot in a Fulton County
Hand Count?

6. Machine Recount- The Recount marks the third count and opportunity to catch and
correct the included foreign ballots, and marks yet another failure. How were the
Dekalb County ballots scanned and counted once again? Again, all the scanning
was done on different tabulators.

4
This may be an easy investigation. We know from the affidavit of Mr. Mark Wingate, a member of the Fulton
County Board of Elections (attached), that County officials told him that they had not conducted any signature
verification, in violation of O.C.G.A. 21-2-386. Of course, while this has been apparent for some time, the Board
still approved a slap-on-the-wrist settlement agreement with Fulton County in June without any public disclosure of
the erroneous hand count results or correction of the public record.

The implications of the five ballots at issue in this complaint are indicative of a much
larger problem that is of grave concern. This is not one incompetent volunteer asleep at the
switch, but the systems and processes in place to protect the integrity of the election seem to
have failed at every step and through three different counts.

Furthermore, there is no way that the tabulators should have been able to read these
ballots (for either machine count) and there is no way they could have been read accurately.
There is no way the signatures of voters from another county were verified, nor could those
voters have received credit for voting.

This begs the question – and requires an investigation -- what voters were these ballots
attributed to and how? Is a corresponding voter even necessary?

Based on my understanding of what Georgia purports to claims as its “secure” election


systems, there is no suitable, theoretical, or even remotely plausible explanation for all
systems, protocols, and procedures to have failed for each of these ballots, over three separate
“counts” – which the Secretary of State claimed showed no errors. There is no excuse, but
unless you can answer these questions in an investigation, there is one conclusion -- Georgia’s
election system has completely and astoundingly failed. This is not an isolated “anomaly”, but
rather widespread, multiple-layered, successive failure only possible through intentional
system manipulation and/or malfeasance.

Please report the results of your investigation, hopefully before the next election. It
seems that the citizens of Georgia and the United States have waited long enough to have a
real investigation into the 2020 election and all the anomalous activity we have identified in
our complaints. If you choose not to investigate, as you have in the past, this will simply be
further evidence of a gross dereliction of duty; we reserve all rights to use any legal means
necessary to prevent continued failure of enforcement and oversight.

Please call me with any questions or comments, as I stand behind our work, but I
would prefer communication in writing. It is important to document yet another failure by the
State Election Board, which will supplement the extensive record for the inevitable next steps.
Thank you.

Very truly yours,

Kevin Moncla

We note that Complaints numbered 4 and 6 above show a “Biden Shift” of 13,836 votes – that is, a net positive of
votes more than the net positive for Trump of 13,836 – the “margin of error” in Fulton County alone exceeds the
“margin of victory” for Biden in the State of Georgia, contrary to the statements of Secretary of State Raffensperger
to President Donald J. Trump on January 3, 2021. Secretary Raffensperger was in possession of all of this
information on that date.
