Excerpts from the interview
Robert N Rust III (00:56.942)
…Now we’re here a couple of weeks after this very surprising election. And it’s my pleasure to reintroduce Garland Favorito of Roslyn, Georgia in Atlanta, if you will… who has done some mighty fine things in the state of Georgia as it relates to election laws and the fundamental question of election integrity…

…My last 13 years of my career, I spent mostly in cybersecurity areas, specifically for online banking,…what we had to do was to protect the identity of the accounts and the transactions of over a million and a half customers…I’ve been also working to do learning system technology research. …And election integrity type advocacy….

Well, VoterGA stands for Voters Organized for Trusted Election Results in Georgia. Key word being trusted. established that back in 2006. So it’s been operating for 17 or 18 years. It’s a nonpartisan nonprofit. We are volunteers. And this is organization that we have just set up to try to bring election integrity back to Georgia when they had developed a system back in or actually purchased a system back in 2002, which was not a verifiable voting system. …there was no ballot, your votes just went away, and there was no audit trail for the auditors, no verifiability for the voters, no recount capability for the candidates, and without any paper,…They didn’t really listen to us, and that whole new wave of unverifiable DRE voting started back then, and then I complained at that time that the system was likely. unconstitutional because there was no way to verify the results or audit them. And sure enough, 17 years later, the United States District Court in a different case found that they were in fact constitutionally deficient, banned them for future use. And then we ended up with a QR coded voting system, which is equally as unverifiable as the old one. So we’ve kind of gone full circle in the last 20 years.

…I know that Pennsylvania has got a lot of issues. Specifically, one of the key things is reconciliation of total ballots cast with number of voters who voted. That’s always been a big issue in Pennsylvania. It was in 2020. I think they never did reconcile that. Last I heard, there was somewhere between 80 to 120,000 ballots difference in the number of voters who voted versus ballots cast. that’s a pretty disturbing thing. And I’m sure there’s a few other things as well. But the, It looks like the election results were just a little bit too big to rig up there this time around.
