The Fulton County Superior Court will hear arguments on a petition seeking a forensic inspection of mail-in ballots in the county next week from the November general election.

Garland Favorito told The Epoch Times that they were granted a hearing for Jan. 4 on an emergency petition. 

“We have just received notice that we will be granted a hearing Monday, Jan. 4 at 11 a.m. on our Emergency Petition to visually inspect and forensically examine all Fulton County mail-in ballots,” Favorito said to The Epoch Times. “That includes those processed at State Farm Arena and those that auditors detected as potentially fraudulent.”

The petitioners are voters and part of VoterGA who want to inspect the mail-in ballots for the county and have them rescanned by a forensic exam. They believe that because of the Georgia Senate’s Election Law Study Subcommittee’s resolution passed Wednesday, they should be allowed to inspect the ballots.

On Wednesday, Jovan Pulitzer testified before the subcommittee and told the lawmakers that his team would be able to detect fraudulent ballots within just a couple of hours.

“We would be able to tell if they were folded, if they were counterfeit, whether they were filled out by a human hand, whether they were printed by a machine, whether they were batch-fed continually over and over, we can detect every bit of that,” Pulitzer said, the Epoch Times reported.

The petitioners question the integrity of the county’s mail-in ballots after there was security camera footage that showed workers processing ballots on election night and taking ballots out of suitcases that were under tables and scanning them repeatedly.

While there is the possibility that the scanning was a legitimate action because of errors within a machine, the quality of the video is such that it’s hard to tell if that is the case.
