Georgia opens investigation into possible illegal ballot harvesting in 2020 election
Secretary of State Raffensperger says subpoenas could be forthcoming.

Georgia authorities have launched an investigation into an allegation of systematic ballot harvesting during the state's 2020 general election and subsequent U.S. Senate runoff and may soon issue subpoenas to secure evidence, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed to Just the News.
Georgia law strictly prohibits third-party activists from picking up and delivering ballots on behalf of voters, a tactic called "harvesting" that liberal organizers have tried to get legalized in many battleground states without success. The U.S. Supreme Court this summer rejected Democrat efforts to overturn an Arizona law that outlawed harvesting in the battleground state.
Raffensperger, who is seeking reelection in 2022, led a successful effort in 2019 to strengthen Georgia's prohibition against harvesting ahead of the 2020 presidential election, and defeated an effort by prominent Democrat lawyer Marc Elias to overturn the harvesting ban. Raffensperger also reviewed and rejected claims by former President Donald Trump of widespread fraud during the 2020 election in a series of contacts under investigation by a local district attorney in Atlanta and the Jan. 6 select committee in Congress.
According to interviews and documents reviewed by Just the News, Raffensperger's office received a detailed complaint from conservative voter integrity group True the Vote on Nov. 30 saying it had assembled evidence that scores of activists worked with nonprofit groups to collect and deliver thousands of absentee ballots, often during wee-hour operations, to temporary voting drop boxes distributed around the state during the pandemic.

Not entirely. It's important to build up the evidence of this stuff, and get it out there by whatever means necessary, in order to build up resistance to things like the voter-fraud law the democrats are trying to pass in Congress.

I've lost track.
Is this the 3rd,or the 4th time they have done this since the last election,when they flat stole it?

This is a real smoking gun. First, they have the identities of 230 cell phones that made multiple visits to different drop boxes. Second, they have a whistleblower who admits to being paid to stuff ballot boxes with harvested ballots. And third, the Secretary of State is scared enough to finally get involved.
Gabriel Sterling needs to be fired on the spot, and then the Governor needs to recuse Raffensperger from any involvement before handing the investigation over to the GBI.

Unless it results in people going to jail, it means nothing as it will be repeated.

What's more important: sending a few low-level schmucks to jail, but not changing the mechanisms that allowed them to engage in voter fraud in the first place, or not sending anyone to jail and changing the mechanisms so that it can't happen again?
It will only continue to happen in the first case, not the second case, so no, just sending people to jail is neither necessary nor sufficient to get lasting change.

The 'mechanism' here is that the law was ignored. Prosecuting those who violated the law would be the first step towards making the law viable again.
Ballot harvesting is illegal in Georgia. The Secretary of State had solid evidence that ballot harvesting was taking place, yet he did nothing to stop it.

It is completely necessary.
No one ever said jailtime alone was enough. It is the beginning of ensuring laws are followed in this country though. Do you advocate otherwise like the Manhattan DA and just do not prosecute?

I am a fan of doing both.
