This series is going to uncover the likely “rebranding” of previous election discrepancies in Georgia uncovered by software engineer Phillip Davis and several other investigators and researchers who took it upon themselves to decipher the shenanigans in the 2020, 2022, and now 2024 elections in the Peach State.
To begin, we must briefly recap the 2020 Election debacle in Georgia.
Recap
The 2020 Presidential Election in Georgia was nothing shy of chaotic and utterly unreliable. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger would call it “the Gold Standard.” It should be called “The Fiat Standard” because much like the valuation of fiat currency, the 2020 Election in Georgia was simply whatever they told us it was with no basis in fact or reality.
From an astronomical number of missing chain of custody documents, poll tapes, hundreds of thousands of ballot images that were deleted to ‘water main breaks’ at Fulton County’s central count that resulted in late night counting with no media or election observers present, “erroneous code” being discovered first in Williamson County, TN and later, identical errors found in the system log files of 97% of counties examined…the Georgia election system is an utter disaster.
Former Fulton County Board of Registrations and Elections (BRE) member Mark Wingate testified under oath during Deputy Attorney General Jeff Clark’s disbarment hearing that Fulton County did not conduct any signature verification and that he was denied any chain of custody documents prior to certification. Later, during Trump co-defendant Harrison Floyd’s pre-trial hearings, it was discovered that the million-dollar BlueCrest Sorter machines Fulton County had purchased to conduct automatic signature verification were not functioning during the counting process.
The Fulton County State Election Board entered into a consent agreement with the Fulton County BRE regarding thousands of duplicate and triplicate ballots uncovered from the first November 3 machine count to the November 16th hand count. No explanation was ever given as to why the numbers only matched with the injections of over 6,000 duplicate ballots.
“Erroneous Code” was discovered in a 2021 local election in Williamson County, TN using the same Dominion Voting tabulators as Georgia. Upon inspection of 66 counties that followed the law and provided the system log files per open records request, 64 of the counties, 97%, had the same “QR code signature mismatch” and “Ballot format or id is unrecognizable.”
You can read my reporting for The Gateway Pundit in a four part series documenting many of the problems with the 2020 Election in Georgia, mainly Fulton County and Coffee County, here:
During the federal lawsuit Curling v. Raffensperger, which concluded in January 2024 but is still awaiting a ruling from Judge Amy Totenberg as we go more than a year beyond its conclusion, University of Michigan computer science professor J. Alex Halderman hacked the Dominion ICX system used throughout the Peach State using nothing but a BIC pen, and then hacked it again several times using readily available tools that can be purchased on Amazon for less than $100.
I was present for this trial on behalf of The Gateway Pundit and reported extensively on the weeks-long trial for a case that had been ongoing since 2017.
Delayed court proceedings in Georgia, whether state or federal, appears to be a reoccurring theme as Garland Favorito and VoterGA is still waiting for assignment of their case to unseal and examine the physical paper ballots from the 2020 Election. The case was filed in early 2021 and abruptly dismissed in October 2021 by Judge Brian Amero. In December 2022, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that VoterGA did, in fact, have standing to bring the case.
Since December 2022, 817 days, VoterGA has been waiting for the case to be reassigned.
President Trump re-Truthed The Gateway Pundit’s article on this decision on December 22, 2022.
You can read the following thread on X and watch clips from my interview with Phillip Davis regarding the 2020 Election and his shocking findings. The first post has a 53 second clip giving the overview of what he uncovered in the 2020 Election. Note: these are findings specific to Davis’s work and not the entirety of issues uncovered in Georgia’s 2020 Election.
Please bookmark this and take 30 minutes out of your schedule to sit down and read/listen to these claims and DEMAND a thorough investigation with Phil Davis directly involved. And then share this out.
This can be done by Georgia authorities OR the DOJ and FBI since it… pic.twitter.com/DF54vUMKuM

Fast Forward to 2024 – the Georgia “Auditors”
The Georgia legislature passed House Bill 794 in May 2024, which went into effect in July 2024. One of the key components of HB794 was the requirement for the Secretary of State’s Office “to provide for a pilot program to audit paper ballots using optical character recognition.” (OCR)
In August 2024, SOS Brad Raffensperger entered into an agreement with Enhanced Voting to conduct the OCR “audit” of the Nov. 5, 2024 General Election. In following segments of this series, we will go through some of the inconsistencies and discrepancies that Phillip Davis uncovered during his examination following the 2024 Election.
But before we get to that point, it is important to know who runs Enhanced Voting. The President and Founder of Enhanced Voting is Aaron Wilson. Wilson has a history in the election-sphere dating back to his time at the Florida Department of State in 2005 and the Florida Division of Elections from 2007 to 2009, according to his LinkedIn.
After a brief stint as an “embedded software engineer analyst” at Lockheed Martin, Wilson went to work as a project engineer at Scytl Secure Electronic Voting from 2010-2011. Scytl was at the heart of part of the controversy around the 2020 Election when it was discovered that many website for States’ Election Reporting was run by Scytl, a Barcelona, Spain-based company. Following his time at Scytl, Wilson worked for five years at Greenshades Software before landing at Clear Ballot Group as the Director of Product Innovation.
But Wilson’s employment from Jan. 2019 through April 2021 is the most concering. During this time, he was the Senior Director of Election Security at the Center for Internet Security.
Center for Internet Security (CIS)
During the 2020 Election the COVID-19 Pandemic, there was a massive effort by non-governmental organizations to censor what they perceived as ‘mis- and disinformation.’ In an astonishing admission of unconstitutional censorship, an organization known as the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) produced a report following the 2020 Election called “The Long Fuse” report. In this report, the EIP acknowledged an independent organization known as the Election Information Sharing and Analysis Center (EI-ISAC), which was run by the CIS.
In the Long Fuse Report, they acknowledged that the EI-ISAC “served as a singular conduit for election officials to report false or misleading information to platforms.” They also admitted that “the Countering Foreign Influence Task Force (CFITF), a subcomponent of CISA, aided in the reporting process and in implementing resilience to efforts to counter election misinformation.”
In the United States, the First Amendment of the Constitution forbids the government from enacting any effort or policy that would subvert its citizens free speech. Regardless of whether or not it is true. This is a blatant violation of the First Amendment.
During Biden v. Knight First Amendment Institute, Justice Clarence Thomas opined:
““…a ‘private entity is not ordinarily constrained by the First Amendment,’ Halleck, 587 U. S., at ___, ___ (slip op., at 6, 9), it is if the government coerces or induces it to take action the government itself would not be permitted to do, such as censor expression of a lawful viewpoint.”
According to emails obtained through Open Records Request and reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, Aaron Wilson during his time at the Center for Internet Security appears to be responsible for the development and implementation of that “portal” that the Long Fuse Report mentions.
In the first email dated 1/3/2020 and addressed to several individuals from the Department of Homeland Security and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Wilson pitches the “Misinformation Reporting Portal.”
He writes,
“I have spoken to you both separately about a concept we are developing to help election officials report mis/disinformation during the 2020 elections. You both, along NASS and NASED, indicated our proposal may be helpful. I am attaching a brief write-up I made that describes it. Your feedback is welcome.
We are beginning the development of the misinformation reporting portal with the hopes that it could be piloted in the Presidential Preference Primaries. I am planning on setting up a call between you all, NASS, NASED, and us as soon as I have something to show you.”
The NASS and NASED are the National Association of Secretaries of State and the National Association of State Election Directors, non-governmental organizations comprised of government officials.
It is worth noting that in January 2020, COVID-19 had not even reached US shores, none-the-less caused any sort of chaos regarding the 2020 Election and the roll-out of ‘Zuckerbucks’ (September 2020) or the implementation of universal mail-in balloting.
In a follow-up email on January 20th, 2020 with the subject line “Misinformation Reporting Portal FBI Briefing” and addressed to a redacted FBI employee and several DHS and CISA employees, Wilson wrote:
“JC
It was great to meet you last week. As I mentioned, CIS is working with DHS on a misinformation reporting portal. The intent is to build a web portal to manage the reporting of election infrastructure misinformation from local and state election officials to the social media platforms. We are working our partners at the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS), National Association of State Election Directors (NASED), and DHS to vet this idea. We are currently building a prototype and will have something to show by the first week of February.
Given the FBI’s role, I’d like to bring you up to speed on our efforts and get your feedback on this effort, and hopefully your engagement. Our primary goal is to
- Provide election officials with a single place/POC to report misinformation
- Ease the burden on election officials when they go to report the misinformation
- Collect the information necessary for the FBI, DHS, and social media platforms to do their jobs.
- Expedite and enhance the process by which social media companies are made aware of the misinformation
- Provide visibility about what election officials are reporting to: other election officials, DHS, NASS, NASED, FBI, etc.
- Facilitate information sharing between election officials about what they are seeing, what to look out for, etc.
- Provide meaningful feedback to election officials on the status of their misinformation reports
In addition to the collaboration on a woefully unconstitutional censorship apparatus, CIS also engaged in providing ‘Cybersecurity Services’ for numerous counties and election jurisdictions across the United States at no cost to the jurisdictions. Funding was provided by federal funds through the Department of Homeland Security. The Gateway Pundit previously reported on this in 2022.
Before we move into what has been discovered in the 2024 Election ‘audit’ in comparison with 2020 and 2022, we must first ask how the most vocal critics of President Trump’s now-substantiated claims regarding the 2020 election ended up contracting an unconstitutional censorship-czar to conduct an audit of one of the most crucial swing states in the country?
This gets so much worse.
