315,000 Possibly Fraudulent Ballots? Eh...It's Business-As-Usual In Georgia!

Nothing shocking, except for the admission that they are either fantastically bad at their jobs, or are subverting the Constitution.

Or both!

'We Don't Dispute' It: Georgia 315k Vote Bombshell Blows a Big Hole in 2020's 'Most Secure Election' Lie

A Georgia State Election Board investigation substantiated that Fulton County violated election rules in 2020 by failing to have poll workers sign required tabulation tapes for early votes in 36 out of 37 advanced voting precincts, affecting approximately 315,000 ballots.
These unsigned tapes broke the chain-of-custody and certification requirements under Georgia law, which mandates signed tapes as the sole legal proof of authentic vote totals.
During a board meeting on December 9th, Ann Brumbaugh, attorney for the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, contends that Fulton County does “not dispute that the tapes were not signed.”

Originally, copyright was 14 years with an option for an extra 14.

40 years later, it became 28 years plus an extra 28.

Then, in 1976, it became Life+50 because of corporate pressure. Then Life+70 in the 90s because Sonny Bono was one of history's greatest monsters.

Corporations should not own copyrights. Copyrights should be a limited term and saying, "Well, 1,000,000 years is a limited term because there's a limit to the term" is bullshit, history before corporations decided that they needed to own IP forever belies that.

The problem isn't that Disney owns Mickey Mouse forever, it's that the protection of Mickey Mouse forces everything else to hide behind copyright for nearly a hundred years even though no one can exploit 99% of what's out there.

And copyrights must be registered like before 1976.

Without the Copyright Act of 1976, works from 1998 would be entering the public domain on January 1. Those that didn't have applications for extensions.

It's not like Disney couldn't use Mickey Mouse after 1980 or so when the copyright was originally going to expire. He could still be all over Disney World. Disney could still produce cartoons.

It was just that Fox could suddenly start making Mickey Mouse cartoons.

And you know what? Mickey Mouse is not sacred. He's a talking rat. He's not worth special protection.

Cervantes wound up having to write the second book of Don Quixote because of so much piracy on his initial work. The character complained about people "stealing his name" poorly.

I have a pirated travelogue of Rudyard Kipling where he mentions that he is in the United States specifically to deal with pirated copies of his books being printed in the US.

I love the second half of Don Quixote.

It's a meta-commentary about people who abused Quixote in works not written by Cervantes, and it's wonderfully touching.

That Terry Gilliam brought it over for his movie, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, was one of the things that made me happiest about that movie.

True story: I moved the week before the '24 election, and since I'd already updated my address with the Post Office, the poll workers had that address.

Which didn't match my drivers license. So they were only going to let me cast a "provisional ballot." Which to me seems like another way of saying they'd toss it in the trash.

Thankfully, I had my "mail in" ballot at home, I went back, filled it out, and dropped it in the drop box at the courthouse.

156 Oh, and the principled, libertarian position on copyright should be that copyright is immoral.

It limits my freedom to create new things just because someone else came up with it first. It is a government created right, not a natural right, that flies in the face of my own liberty.

Copyright didn't exist until 1710 with Anne's Law in England. Shakespeare, Mozart, and Cervantes all worked without copyright.

It doesn't limit your freedom to come up with new things. It limits your freedom to parasitize some other person' work for your own benefit. Copyright merely extends the protections we enjoy for physical property to intellectual property.

That's the regime post-1976.

Copyright became assumed on new works (and those under copyright at the time in 1976). It became beholden on those creating new works to prove that they weren't copying someone else's instead of the other way around.

They have it now...under certain versions of Mickey Mouse.

(Don't put gloves on Steamboat Willie!)

But, it would probably be a court battle that leads to Disney losing, but no one does it because Mickey Mouse is worthless outside of Disney's use and no one wants the trouble anyway.

My problem, though, isn't with the big copyright holders holding onto things. I don't care about that because the big copyright holders do generally take care of their big copyrights.

My problem is everything below that. The Fox library that Disney is hoarding and won't let anyone use. The books that no one even knows are under copyright or not. The vast majority of works that no one can or will do anything with because publishers and other content providers will just assume they're under copyright

Frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn.

Copyright, however long it may endure, does not impinge upon my freedom at all. There is a metric fuckton of stupid shit that government does to restrict my freedom, and yours, and that shit is more worthy of being fought.

I think it's more accurate to say that Tesla died penniless because Tesla was a very bad businessman.

It absolutely does infringe on people's rights. Just because you don't want to reprint a book that's been out of print since 1950 and no one even knows if its under copyright doesn't mean that other people don't want to.

And I'm sorry that I'm talking about a minor government infringement instead of the major ones. Are you the police about which things we're allowed to complain about?

244 This isn't even the cheating we all know they did. This is just some early voting tabulations that are probably fine, I would hope the machines put a data and time stamp on the counts at the time that they are done; although its possible the Fulton county operatives substituted tabulations that better suited their purposes.

If they had successfully cheated enough on early voting they would not have needed to resort to creating a water line issue, and the multiple counting of ballots that they did in the wee hours.

263 The 315,000 unsigned votes are probably not a huge deal at that link in the chain. That's probably what the tabulation machines said, they just didn't get the tapes signed.

The fraud is probably upstream of that, in the 10,000 ballots that got run through the tabulation machine 5 times to make 50,000. Now, there's a question whether the election workers who ran the ballots through the machines 5 times were told not to sign the tape and they couldn't get prosecuted.

Next step is to get those suspect early ballots from storage and do a recount. I'm betting they've been destroyed and can't be replicated.

266 Face2face Africa dot com: 'Meet Fani Willis, who conquered her former boss to become Fulton County’s first female DA' by Mohammed Awal, August 13, 2020

Wikipedia, Fani Taifa Willis[1] (née Floyd; /fɑːniː/, FAH-nee;[1] born October 27, 1971)[2][3] is an American attorney. She is the district attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, which contains most of Atlanta, serving since 2021.[4] She is the first woman to hold the office in Fulton County.[5]

If you step back & examine, the amount of strategic planning that went into the entire process is fascinating.

268 "Should copyright be changed to something like “life +75 and then for damn sure you enter public domain, no ifs ands or buts”? Sure, but scrap copyright altogether? Bad idea. I’m good with where it was set by the Copyright Law of 1978, but perpetual copyrights? No."

I once saw an op-ed by Mark Helprin, the novelist and one-time Bush supporter, advocating that copyright should be perpetual - as in, forever. Helprin is a great novelist, and also something of a nut; but the absurdity of that should be obvious even to him. Can you imagine the court battles over the royalties for the plays of William Shakespeare?
