Georgia "fraud dept" calls saying vote changed to Biden

[dvduval]

I've been hearing from a couple of friends and relatives in Georgia that they're getting calls from the fraud department saying their vote has been changed. Has anyone else heard anything like this?

1. .

[greenjar_01]

23. I LOLed

I mean, come on.

[MFM008]

2. NO

but the humpers have been lying since Nov 3.

[Cha]

15. trump has been Lying since 2015 & Before..

[Celerity]

21. Trump starting lying from his first words spoken as a toddler.

[Maeve]

3. And I get calls telling me the police are coming to arrest me

The "fraud" is coming from the caller

on edit--there IS a Georgia Dept of Fraud, Waste and Abuse, but it has nothing to do with voting

[Phoenix61]

4. Considering their is no record of who they voted

for how could anyone know if it was changed?

[Merlot]

7. Thank you for supplying the logic.

[Mike 03]

10. +1

[torius]

5. Did the fraud dept.

Use terms like “bigly” and “yuge”?

[icwlmuscyia]

26. Was it John Baron?

[Yavin4]

44. Wrong. No way that was Trump.

Trump would ask for money.

[Iris]

6. Tell them they can avoid being bamboozled by hanging up

[stonecutter357]

8. trump is a racist pig.

[jpak]

9. The Georgia Fraud Dept can Kiss my Ass

Yup

[kansasobama]

11. Do not stay silent

You need to inform Biden campaign, Democrats, and the police

I have committed many crimes according to these callers. I have committed tax fraud, social security fraud, voter fraud and what not. They have been threatening arrest for 6 years. Yeah right!

12. Ask them for evidence, or dismiss it as simply a lie.

Should be pretty easy for them to show you the number on their phone from which these alleged calls were made, and then simply call the number to see if the organization is credible. I imagine that in your sampling of "friends and relatives", at least one of them would not have an excuse why they are unable to provide it.

[mr_lebowski]

16. You don't even to think about it ... it's a lie.

They're trying to get stupid people to call the authorities and complain about how 'my vote got changed!!1!'.

So much stupid in this world I can't rule out that they've succeeded at least a few times.

[LanternWaste]

34. More often than not, I presume ignorance over malice

But then again, I'm too often disappointed when all signs point to both

[dweller]

13. They called me too, while I was in the car driving

I glanced at my phone and it said ‘POTENTIAL SPAM’ was calling 😆
I drove on ...

✌🏻

14. When der leader says the ntl guard called out in various states during the election removed

70k+ ballots..one would expect this crap

[C_U_L8R]

17. How would they even know?

There should be massive penalties for filing false accusations about election fraud.

[dvduval]

18. Just trying to confirm

My family member is believing this. Her husband did a male and ballot and they called and said there was something suspicious and his vote was changed or something. But I'm only going off this one story so I don't have enough to confirm. That being said, this relative wouldn't just lie. They surely received a call.

[LisaL]

19. You've never heard of fake calls?

If you ask me, somebody is messing with your relative.

[Ptah]

22. Her husband did a male and ballot?

[jpak]

24. Bwahahaha@!!!@@@212211!!

[dvduval]

28. Haha

😂

[LanternWaste]

32. If this family member 'surely received a call', simply ask for the number and follow up on it.

Seems easy-peasey, George and Wheezie.

[SunsetDreams2]

42. Trying to understand

In your OP you said

”I’ve been hearing from a couple of friends and relatives in Georgia that they're getting calls from the fraud department saying their vote has been changed.”

Now it’s this?

“But I'm only going off this one storyso I don't have enough to confirm. That being said, this relative wouldn't just lie. They surely received a call.”

Is it just your one relative or is it a couple of friends and relatives getting these calls?

[dvduval]

48. Only family member

Sorry, I was just trying to be nonspecific since it involves a relative. There were multiple family members on a group chat and I believe another one also brought up something but I don't have the specifics. So the reason for the post was just to see if anyone else was hearing something similar. I'm not trying to spread a rumor

[Generic Brad]

45. An unnamed person from an unknown location made an unverifiable claim?

Well, damn. I fold. Who can compete with facts like that?

[Ms. Toad]

46. The ballot is placed in a secrecy sleeve.

Once the secrecy sleeve is separated from the return envelope, there is nothing to connect the ballot (enclosed in the blank secrecy sleeve) to the voter.

So they would be unable to identify the voter once the voter was verified. Before the voter is verified (and the envelope separated from the secrecy sleeve), the votes are hidden.

Note: There is no identifying information on the secrecy sleeve - all identifying information is on the return envelope which is separted from the hidden ballot - which is placed with other ballots in the secrecy sleeve.

As for calls - I get at least one a day telling me my extended warranty (on a 2004 car) is about to expire . . .

20. How in the hell would you know that? Bullshit.

[Kingofalldems]

25. .....

27. This is a Russian psyop. Things like this should not be posted.

Tell the victims it's a Russian psyop and to let others know it's a Russian psyop working on behalf of Trump to sow chaos. Keep it simple and short.

[enki23]

29. Some people are saying.

[Mr. Ected]

30. No you haven't

I don't believe a word of it.

This is pure hogwash. Take it down.

[Flaleftist]

31. This has no more credibility than a Facebook meme. The Republican SoS says the election is legit.

[dvduval]

33. More info

Apparently he mailed in his about early, and then he got a call that someone else voted for him on election Day and it was provided. I got that information just now. I agree there is like a credibility here but I'm just wondering if there is some sort of phone operation underway in Georgia.

[LisaL]

35. What you are alleging here is not allowed in GA.

Once your relative mailed his ballot and it was accepted, he voted. Nobody should have been able to vote for your relative on election day.

"If you request and return an absentee ballot, you cannot change your mind and vote in person. Once you return your absentee ballot, you have voted."

[dvduval]

39. Agreed

Yes, I agree with you. I'm more concerned about who might be doing the calling. I'm not sure if I can easily ask my relative at this point, but if more information becomes available it'll be easier to discuss with them. I see someone else later in this thread has mentioned this now.

[LanternWaste]

36. Simply ask for the phone number that called him

And then plug that number into a couple of search engines, or just call the number yourself and see where it leads you.

[KentuckyWoman]

37. Someone I know in Atlanta got one.

Robot call . The caller ID was her own phone number. She isn't even registered to vote.

[dvduval]

40. Thanks!

Would love to hear any additional specifics if you have them. that's kind of why I posted this in the first place, trying to see if there's a pattern here

[cwydro]

38. Uh huh. Do tell.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

41. Probably same bunch that calls from India saying our Microsoft license has expired....

or Social Security account has been suspended.

KY...........

[JDC]

43. Jacob Wohl's robo-dialer is back in use.

[cwydro]

47. A vote is private.

How would anyone know it’s been changed?

Think now.

[BGBD]

49. I'm sure they can fix it too....

They just need your social security number and some other information....you know, to verify that you are the right person.

[BainsBane]

50. What fraud department?

This is bullshit.

[Dem2]

51. Anybody who calls you and comes right out and tells you information that they shouldn't know

It's a scam 100% of the time.
