The VoterGA Fulton County counterfeit ballot case “is back,” according to Garland Favorito. Favorito told UncoverDC in November that an order from the Georgia Supreme court in the Sons of Confederate Veterans et al. v. Henry Cty. Bd of Commissioners would no doubt help his case. The Supreme Court confirmed what Garland already knew—that “citizens in the state have standing to sue government officials who violate the law.” During what he dubbed the “Georgia Supreme Court Victory” press conference on Thursday, Favorito said this “was something he had been saying all along for a year even after our case was dismissed” on October 13, 2021. The counterfeit ballot case was dismissed because the “Petitioners failed to allege a particularized injury.” Garland says the decision was erroneous and violated “every precedent in the state in Georgia history since 1788 and all precedents in U.S. Supreme Court history dating back 100 years.”

PRESERVE THE BALLOTS!https://t.co/BgekTAbOnz#voterga#auditganow#gapol pic.twitter.com/PJrnGS8bYL— Garland Favorito (@VoterGa) January 12, 2023
The dismissal came after Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero asked the parties in his Sept. 2021 hearing whether the State Election Board or the Georgia Bureau of Investigation had “investigated whether counterfeit ballots had diluted legal votes.” Judge Amero had granted access to more than 145,000 absentee ballots in May 2021 in favor of the Petitioners. All briefs and documents in the case can be found on the VoterGA website under the legal tab with the heading “2020 Fulton County Counterfeit Ballot Inspection Case.”
