Well, it’s official: the U.S. Supreme Court has made a decision on an emergency request from two GOP election officials in Pennsylvania in relation to sanctions that were linked to the 2020 election.
The highest court declined to suspend the penalties specified by the state authorities after Stuart Ulsh and Randy Bunch of Fulton County approved access for third-party organizations to Dominion Voting Systems machines without having full approval from the commission.
This decision will have major implications as we look ahead to future elections.
Several outside firms were granted permission by Fulton County Commissioners Ulsh and Bunch to inspect and copy parts of its Dominion voting system that was not authorized by their Board of Elections.
It was later discovered that one of these companies, Wake TSI, had been retained by Defending the Republic – a non-profit formed by ex-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell – according to documents.
After learning about this inspection which breached chain of custody protocols essential for preventing tampering, Commissioner Ulsh voted along with Bush for attorney Stefanie Lambert to represent them concerning previous polls. Lambert is associated with Powell who has yet responded when asked for comment.
When it came out that Fulton County was planning on permitting Envoy Sage LLC doing another review of equipment, Secretary of Commonwealth sought out and obtained a protective order issued by Pennsylvania Supreme Court so as to avoid this happening again.
The justices then delivered sanctions against county officials mandating that they pay legal fees plus ordered Dominion voting machinery to be put under custody of a neutral representative while the appeal made by commissioners was being considered by the U.S Supreme Court, which ultimately rejected their plea resulting in no dissenting opinions recorded on official document released afterwards.
