17,852 Certified Votes Have No Corresponding Ballot Images – 20,713 Ballots Lack Provenance – 3,930 Ballots Double-Scanned (GA)

Three distinct categories of tabulation record failure have been documented in Fulton County by independent forensic investigators. First, official records confirm that Fulton County certified 17,852 votes in the presidential race for which no corresponding ballot images exist in the county’s production – confirmed by two independent expert declarations filed in Curling v. Raffensperger: (1) Professor Philip B. Stark (UC Berkeley, EAC Board of Advisors), who stated “Fulton County’s production included images of ballots and printout cards for 510,073 of the 527,925 cast vote records – 17,852 image files are missing”; and (2) Professor Duncan Buell (University of South Carolina), who independently confirmed approximately 17,800 missing images and the same number of missing .sha authentication files. Second, the Election Oversight Group (EOG) documented 20,713 ballots tied to tabulators with no provenance – they cannot be traced to a chain-of-custody origin. Third, EOG documented that 3,930 duplicate ballots were scanned and counted multiple times through human intervention: ballots were extracted from already-scanned batches 17, 18, and 19, consolidated into a new batch, and scanned on a different tabulator (tabulator 794) – a process requiring affirmative, multi-step human action that EOG characterized as intentional. Georgia’s certified presidential margin was 11,779 votes. The 17,852 votes with no ballot image representation alone exceed the margin of victory.
