Cleta Mitchell 'Praying' DOJ Seizes Georgia Ballots in Probe of Debunked 2020 Election Claims

Far-right lawyer and anti-voting activist Cleta Mitchel is cheering on President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) as it probes debunked allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election in Georgia.

“[DOJ Civil Rights Division chief Harmeet Dhillon] has served notice she is coming for the Fulton County ballots,” Mitchell posted on X Thursday. “Praying it happens today. DOJ must act to protect the voters of GA.”

In July, Georgia’s GOP- controlled elections board passed a resolution calling on state authorities to ask the department for assistance in probing 2020 voter fraud claims in Fulton County. In October, DOJ demanded Fulton election officials to hand over records related to the 2020 election.

That same month, Ed Martin — DOJ’s pardon attorney and head of the department’s vague weaponization task force — acknowledged on social media that the department was looking into claims of voter fraud in Fulton County, the state’s largest county. In August, Martin allegedly sent a letter to a Fulton County judge demanding to “immediately access” 148,000 absentee ballots being stored in a ballot warehouse.

was a stolen election... all it tells me is that they really did everything they could think of to steal the election for themselves, and just can't believe it didn't work. Therefore, the Democrats HAD to have done something beyond what the R's did in order to win it. I would love to see some sort of deep forensics done on the election... not because the R's think it was stolen, but to show them just how badly they lost. Root out all the ways in which the R's tried to steal it, and then make the mathematical corrections and show them just how badly most people want them OUT of office!
