President Trump Shocks: “It’s All About the Machines” After Missing Memory Card FLIPS Midterm Race | JP
Do you remember when Georgia’s Secretary of State declined to investigate potential voting irregularities in the aftermath of the 2020 election?
I do.
They told us it wasn’t there. It never happens. Nothing to see here, folks.
Well, it did just happen. But this time… it was discovered.
And guess who is investigating the exact sort of ballot irregularities that President Trump WANTED him to look into back in 2020?
You guessed it — Georgia’s Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger.
Here’s the story.
One minute the Republican running for re-election is out; just like so many other Republicans in votes across the country last Tuesday.
A Democrat challenger had Gerald Greene beat, according to the unconfirmed and (thankfully) unofficial vote tally.
The next minute, that all changed when someone discovered that the number of total votes didn’t jive — they were missing a few votes somewhere.
And those few vote discrepancies turned out to be all the difference in the world. The seat that had been turned blue was suddenly RED again!
Imagine that. Voting discrepancies, caught by post-election checks? Couldn’t be. (Sorry, but my sarcasm kicks in when I get riled up.)
That situation, which just played out in real-time in Georgia, is what prompted President Trump to say what so many have been thinking.
The way things currently stand, the MACHINES are now more important than the voters!
Here’s how President Trump actually put it:
Here’s the full text of the President’s post on Truth Social this morning for convenience:
Does anybody really believe that this “Election” was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong??? Some early voting “dumps” were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote.
It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter! President DJT
The situation played out regarding the Georgia state House seat being sought by Republican incumbent Greene, and his Democrat challenger — Harry James.
Raffensperger had the nerve to tout ‘every vote matters’ this time around, as the investigation kicked off according to this report, covering the incident as it unfolded on Friday, from CBS News:
The Georgia secretary of state’s office has opened an investigation into the late upload of hundreds of votes in one county that could impact one of the state’s undetermined elections.
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Seminole County uploaded several hundred votes after officials discovered a discrepancy in their post-election checks, changing the current unofficial outcome of one of the state House elections.
“Every vote matters, and in a close election, even a relatively small number of unreported ballots can change the outcome,” Raffensperger said.
Currently, the secretary of state’s unofficial election totals show Democratic candidate Harry James with a slight lead over Republican incumbent Gerald E. Greene in state House District 154. With the inclusion of these new votes, officials say Greene now leads in that race by 262 votes.
“Georgia’s election safeguards are designed to identify discrepancies, and that is exactly what these guardrails did,” Raffensperger said. “Our office identified a significant discrepancy, alerted county officials, and uncovered a failure to properly upload election results. This oversight didn’t just affect the numbers – it changed who was leading an election. That is unacceptable, and we intend to find out exactly how it happened.”

But surely that sort of thing only happens once in a blue moon, and I’m sure they always catch it and make it right. (Again, I apologize for my sarcasm. It will likely happen again.)
But let’s have a quick fact check session before we get into the details, because there are some false claims floating around.
I have seen quite a few posts gaining traction that make it sound like the entire state of Georgia ‘flipped red’ as a result of this:
Oh boy! Georgia flipped red after “lost” votes were found.
Investigate them ALL!!

While I agree with her sentiment — INVESTIGATE them ALL! — the Georgia Senate will remain just barely in the hands of Republicans come January with an expected 2-seat majority.
And the State House in Georgia will definitely flip to blue, despite this specific incident.
But just like every vote counts… every seat in a state’s legislative body counts, also.
Yet maybe more important than a single state-level seat, the mere fact that such a decisive voting discrepancy was DISCOVERED might be the biggest takeaway, here.
Are we still supposed to buy the line that ‘it never happens’…
When it JUST HAPPENED!?
And — how exactly did it happen?
A single missing memory card was apparently all it took, as reported today by Newsweek:
In Seminole County, election officials identified a difference of approximately 388 between the number of voters who checked in on Election Day and the number of ballots initially reported as cast. The previously unreported results reversed the race, turning Republican state Rep. Gerald Greene’s 58-vote deficit into a lead of 262 votes, according to Georgia’s Secretary of State’s Office.
Following the critical 5 p.m. Monday ET deadline for counties to certify election results, the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office results portal lists Greene with 10,194 votes (50.63 percent) and James with 9,941 (49.37 percent) across House District 154. All reporting units are listed, but the results remain unofficial.
Post-election checks in Seminole County, part of House District 154, revealed a discrepancy between voter check-ins and the number of ballots initially reported as cast.
The Georgia Secretary of State’s Office said the discrepancy was traced to results from a memory card that had not been uploaded into the county’s election-management system.
However, Seminole County Elections Supervisor Ron Foskey disputed claims that a memory card had been missing. In a statement published Saturday, Foskey said all memory cards had been accounted for on election night, but the county’s election-management system had failed to finish processing results from the final precinct. He said the processing was subsequently completed. (Emphasis added.)
So, which was it?
Was the memory card actually missing, until it was found — resulting in a COMPLETELY different outcome and a Republican victory? (As the Secretary of State’s Office claims?)
Or, as the County level Election Supervisor claimed as referenced in that Newsweek article, was it simply a matter of uncounted votes from the final precinct still working on reporting in?
In either case, I have questions — the same questions President Trump tried to raise in 2020!
And my first question is how many other ‘missing memory cards’… or ‘final precinct’ scenarios… made the decisive difference in election outcomes during the midterms?
Seminole County has now certified the results, along with the previously ‘missing’ votes, according to this report from the local Fox News affiliate out of Atlanta:
So, that’s it.
The ‘apparent outcome’ of the race was flipped back to red, according to Seminole County in Georgia.
And it all hinged on a post-election check and the discovery of a single ‘missing’ memory card; the very thing President Trump has been sounding the warning about, over and over.
Wouldn’t it be great if, maybe, we had some sort of nationwide federal change to the election integrity oversight that would help minimize voter fraud and ballot discrepancies across the board?
Maybe something that would standardize these sort of post-election checks?
If ONLY such a piece of legislation could be drafted!
Hey — I know.
We could call it something catchy. Something… very Americanesque.
The SAVE America ACT! (I did warn you in advance that my sarcasm would likely show up again. But I didn’t warn you how corny it might be — sorry about that.)
Meanwhile, the US House is super busy dealing with Thomas Massie’s last-minute effort to impeach Pete Hegseth for carrying out the orders of the Commander in Chief.
Tick, Tock… Republicans. TICK, TOCK!!!
There are now less than 60 days remaining before the Democrats hold majority sway in both houses of Congress.
For goodness’ sake — get something meaningful done on the SAVE Act, already!
At this point, it may literally be the only thing that can make the difference.
