A conservative group that claimed to uncover a ballot stuffing scheme in Georgia has told a judge it has no evidence to back up its allegations.

A Fulton County Superior Court judge in Atlanta signed an order last year requiring True the Vote to provide evidence it had collected, including the names of people who were sources of information, to state elections officials who were frustrated by the group’s refusal to share evidence with investigators.

In their written response, attorneys for True the Vote said the group had no names or other documentary evidence to share.

    That’s strange. They say there is fraud every day since Election Day 2020.

    But somehow, in a courtroom, reality is magically restored, and they admit it’s a lie?

    The power of consequences.

      The consequences are irrelevant when these dimwits have historically ignored facts.

      Due to the ever present “debate” over whether the election was legit or not, most Americans now have less confidence in the process; in democracy. The damage is done, regardless of the “consequences”.

      We now live in a world where outrage and conflict are proven to generate increased viewership. Viewership means revenue and power. Content that’s genuine and unbiased and helpful isn’t as compelling. Our disinterest in improving ourselves and our communities and advancing as a civilization is having the consequence of making us even dumber than we were the day before (because the government and corporations have lead us to believe that capitalism and consumerism is more important American than empathy and generosity).

      So, as long as the media outlets get to run unfounded stories and bring in dozens of “experts” to generate more content to generate more outrage, without much interest in journalism or reporting of unbiased facts, well… I’m afraid to consider of the consequences that lie ahead of us.

      What are the consequences in this case?

        Perjury is frowned upon in court

          Would be nice to see actual consequences in that shit hole country for once.

            In Florida it’s 5/5/5. Up to five years in prison, 5 years probation and $5000. Don’t know about Georgia
