Official acknowledgments by Fulton County elections officials that hundreds of thousands of 2020 ballots lacked required chain-of-custody signatures are drawing renewed attention from President Donald Trump, and a previously staunch defender of Georgia’s election officials.
In a post published on X.com, former Georgia U.S. Senator-turned Administrator of the Small Business Administration, Kelly Loeffler, addressed ballot handling concerns in Fulton County.
Loeffler’s post referenced reporting indicating that hundreds of thousands of ballots in Fulton County during the 2020 election lacked required poll-worker signatures on tabulation tapes. She argued that the issue raised serious questions about chain-of-custody safeguards, particularly given Georgia’s narrow margin of victory in the presidential contest. 11,779 votes decided Georgia.
Loeffler wrote:
“Virtually ALL of Fulton County’s ballots from early voting in 2020, 300k+ in a state decided by 11k votes, FAILED to meet chain of custody requirements, which were implemented as a failsafe for Georgia’s new voting machines. And that’s what we know about in just one county.
Even now, state elections officials can’t admit that they were wrong about 2020 being the ‘most secure election in history.’ They can’t admit that ‘election deniers’ were right for raising questions, even when it meant they would be prosecuted. Just another ‘clerical error.’ Nothing to see here!
Thankfully, Georgia legislators have since passed hundreds of pages of laws to restore election integrity – because clearly, many officials are still living in actual denial.”
Loeffler’s statement drew the attention of Congressman Abe Hamadeh who noted that “Election integrity is no longer taboo,” adding that he would continue to advocate for “common sense & strong election integrity laws” and “accountability and justice.” Hamadeh described election security as a matter of national security and shared Loeffler’s commentary.
Election integrity is no longer taboo.
We all recognize our votes have been hijacked.
In Congress, I will continue to champion common sense & strong election integrity laws while continuing to push for accountability and justice.
Election Security is National Security!!! 💪🇺🇸 https://t.co/13FH9zwO0C

Separately, journalist and commentator Mario Nawfal circulated a video on Christmas Day sourced from Truth Social and attributed to President Donald Trump, raising allegations about military ballots cast in the 2020 election.
🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: TRUMP DROPS ELECTION FRAUD RECEIPTS ON CHRISTMAS
While everyone else was posting Santa pics, Trump dropped a grenade: military ballots that were all for Biden… and only Biden?

In the video, the President cited testimony from an individual who claimed to have observed ballots purportedly submitted by military voters that were marked only for then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden, with no votes cast for Trump or for down-ballot races. The individual described the pattern as unusual, given Trump’s historical support among military voters. The video was shared by Nawfal with attribution to MAGAVoice.
Military and overseas ballots are governed under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) and are subject to verification and audit procedures. Georgia officials have stated that UOCAVA ballots were included in post-election audits and recounts conducted after the 2020 election.
Chain of custody issues have plagued elections in Arizona and raised doubts about election outcomes for years with little effort to tighten up security.
Maricopa County Finds Thousands of ‘Missing’ Ballots Not Included in Initial Election Results
Just this year, three days after Election Day, Maricopa County discovered two boxes of lost, uncounted ballots. The two boxes contained nearly 2,300 ballots. With just mere hours before the curing deadline, the recorder’s office scrambled to make sure the “lost” status of these votes didn’t become a permanent one.
The Maricopa County Elections Department (MCED) issued a statement notifying the public of the lost ballots and explaining that election workers failed to return the two boxes because they placed them, mistakenly, into a blue drop box. MCED assured the public that both boxes had no signs of tampering (the tamper-proof seals weren’t cut) and that the serial numbers on the boxes match up to Election Night serial numbers.
Following the 2020 election, Georgia lawmakers enacted extensive changes to state election law, including revisions to absentee voting rules, oversight authority, and election administration procedures under the Election Integrity Act of 2021. Supporters of the legislation said the changes were intended to strengthen public confidence in elections, while critics argued they could restrict voting access.
Arizona legislators have tried to pass meaningful election integrity legislation however Governor Katie Hobbs has regularly vetoed any and all election integrity bills.
