ROGER SIMON: Can the Georgia Senatorial Runoff Possibly Be Trusted?

Georgia, Georgia….” it’s on everybody’s mind—not just Ray Charles’—these days because of its senatorial runoffs on Jan. 5, 2021 that will determine the ideological bent of this country, possibly for years to come.

As we wait for this cataclysmic event, biting our nails, many of us insomniac, that state is in the midst of a recount of its presidential election that is surfacing “irregularities” in several counties, notably Fulton, that includes parts of Atlanta, with a population of about a million.

Those “irregularities” have been ascribed to “managerial sloppiness” and “chain of custody issues” by those anonymous persons known as “officials.”

Are they—or are they something worse?

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger assures those concerned by the repeated warnings of Trump attorney Sidney Powell about Dominion voting machines—the ones used by Georgia and many other states, not to mention myriad countries across the planet, that, it is said, were originally designed actually to fix election—have nothing to worry about.

According to Mr. Raffensperger, an audit conducted by Pro V&V, a “voting systems company”—sorry for the excessive use of scare quotes, but that’s the world we live in—“found no evidence of the machines being tampered.”

Note the use of the word tampered that ignores the possibility that the results were predetermined by the machines and didn’t need tampering.

This is not impossible since the evidence already offered up by Ms. Powell in the form of signed affidavits from a former high-ranking Venezuelan military officer working for Hugo Chavez and Nicolás Maduro implicates the Dominion machines, coupled with software from Smartmatics, as being created to assure the electoral victories of those despots and others.

The incestuous relationships between these voting machine and software companies are so complex they border on the Talmudic, unfortunately, however, not at all when it comes to morality. As far as we know now, they were constructed and orchestrated to attract fortunes from would-be dictators and global conglomerates.

Is that what happened here, in Georgia and a number of other states?

Put this down in the category of “incredible, but possibly true.”

Yes, we can italicize the possibly because we don’t know yet. But if it is true, almost any expletive you can think of is an understatement.

Ms. Powell speaks of the process of uncovering this as “Releasing the Kraken,” a phrase I was unfamiliar with but evidently describes a mythological underwater sea monster of Norwegian provenance that would destroy the world as we know it.

And it could, at least invalidate the presidential election or reverse it, Supreme Court permitting. But that’s a big if considering how reluctant SCOTUS is to put its finger on the scale of such elections, and justifiably so if we believe in the separation of powers.

Ms. Powell and her ally Lin Wood, two superb attorneys with great and honest track records, better have the goods on this massive cyber crime. The Supremes aren’t going to be interested in anything as ye olde as dead voters.
