Sign the Chris Carr “Vote of No Confidence” Petition
WHEREAS, on Friday April 2, 2021 Attorney General (AG) Chris Carr submitted an amicus brief in his name to Fulton County Superior court on behalf of Secretary of State (SOS) Brad Raffensperger and against petitioners in the ballot inspection case Favorito v. Cooney
WHEREAS, said amicus brief filed by AG Carr placed state officials on public record as claiming Georgians have no right to ever look at cast ballots even if they do so under a court order
WHEREAS, AG Carr and his staff had no obligation to file said amicus brief on behalf of SOS Raffensperger because the SOS is not a party to the court case and all such briefs are voluntary
WHEREAS, citizen petitioners filed a response to AG Carr’s amicus brief documenting several instances where Carr’s brief contained false information
WHEREAS, the Tea Party Patriot Foundation filed a separate amicus brief that documents numerous facts AG Carr’s brief fails to consider or intentionally withheld from the court
WHEREAS, AG Carr’s brief falsely argues that claims of those seeking to inspect ballots are “baseless” despite sworn affidavits from senior poll managers who contend they handled counterfeit ballots while serving as auditors during the Fulton County hand count audit
WHEREAS, AG Carr’s brief falsely argues there was no unlawful activity at the State Farm Arena the night of November 3rd despite recorded video evidence showing multiple violations of Georgia election law
WHEREAS, AG Carr’s brief falsely attempts to criminalize inspection of ballots by citizens under a court order by misinterpreting Georgia law that is enforced during an election [O.C.G.A. 21-2-574]
WHEREAS, AG Carr’s brief attempts to wrongfully intimidate those who seek to inspect ballots by implying they would be committing a felony while inspecting ballots under a court order
WHEREAS, AG Carr’s brief falsely argues that petitioners did not articulate legal justification to unseal ballots despite numerous briefs and verbal arguments in the case explaining that the court has the ultimate jurisdiction to unseal the ballots [O.C.G.A. 21-2-500]
WHEREAS, AG Carr’s brief falsely implies ballots cannot be inspected without compromising voter privacy issues despite the fact that ballots contain no voter identifiable information
WHEREAS, AG Carr’s brief falsely implies ballots cannot be inspected without compromising ballot security despite the fact that the revised plan presented by 7 petitioners calls for ballots to be inspected while they remain in the custody of Fulton County
WHEREAS AG Carr’s brief falsely attempts to use a 2007 Smith V. Dekalb case as precedent for his argument despite the fact that said case referenced the old electronic voting system that never produced paper ballot images
WHEREAS AG Carr’s brief falsely implies the recently passed Act 9 of the Georgia General Assembly prevents ballots from being unsealed despite the act containing no such language
WHEREAS, AG Carr’s brief falsely argues the complaint concerns only Open Records Requests when 7 of 9 counts involve Equal Protection and Due Process violations of Georgia and United States Constitutions as the court corrected Assistant AG McGowan while she made the claim
WHEREAS, AG Carr’s brief disregards the Equal Protection and Due Process rights of Georgians in favor of vote counting secrecy
WHEREAS, the U.S Supreme Court has ruled that the right to have one’s vote counted is equally as open to protection as the right to put a ballot in a ballot box [Reynolds v. Sims, 1964, U.S. v. Moseley. 1915]
WHEREAS, AG Carr’s brief serves to cover-up any potential election fraud that may have occurred in Fulton County during the November 3, 2020 election
WHEREAS, the affidavits of witnesses and controversy surrounding the November 3, 2020 election clearly warrant the inspection of Fulton County mail-in ballots
WHEREAS, AG Carr’s brief directly conflicts with the fundamental principles of election integrity including verifiability, auditability, recount capability and transparency
WHEREAS, AG Carr’s brief demonstrates that he is unwilling to operate in good faith as the Attorney General for the state of Georgia
WHEREAS, AG Carr’s office has taken other dubious action that conflicts with the principles of election integrity such as supporting a consent decree that allowed signatures from ballot envelopes to be verified against applications instead of against actual signatures on file
WHEREAS, AG Carr’s actions conflict with principles of “Defending all Georgians,” “Upholding the Constitution,” and “Fighting injustice” that AG Carr claims to abide by on his election campaign web site
BE IT RESOLVED that we the undersigned cast our vote of no confidence in Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr for his actions taken on April 2, 2021 under false pretenses to adamantly oppose election transparency that is needed to restore the confidence of Georgia voters
BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that we the undersigned demand that Chris Carr cease and desist any efforts to continue as Attorney General for the state of Georgia past his current term
BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that we the undersigned pledge to vigorously oppose any efforts that Chris Carr may make should he attempt to seek re-election as Attorney General of Georgia
