#FBI Has Looked at Using Questionable #AI Tech to Review #Signatures on Seized Mail-In #Ballots
The FBI has explored using artificial intelligence to assess the validity of signatures on tens of thousands of mail-in ballot envelopes seized from #FultonCounty, #Georgia , the latest push in the #Trump administration’s unprecedented reinvestigation of the 2020 #vote.
The effort, according to internal communications reviewed by ProPublica and an agency tech specialist familiar with the work, focuses on comparing signatures on ballot envelopes with signatures on other #election documents, such as registration forms. President #DonaldTrump has long claimed, without evidence, that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

President #Drumpf has announced a prime-time address for Thursday at 9 p.m. EDT to rant about "corrupt, crooked" election irregularities and DC #Beltway rumours claim he will challenge the legitimacy of state voter tallys that made #Democrats #JonOssoff & #RaphaelWarnock GA #Senators. He sent #GabbyGiffords to seize past GA #ballots months ago ...
Officials have said paranoid #Prez will be joined by Giffords' replacement as acting National Intelligence director Bill Pulte, #CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Kash Patel of #FBI, and new #DHS head Markwayne Mullin...

The subpoena came after the #FBI in January served a search warrant at the #FultonCounty #election hub & seized hundreds of boxes of #ballots & other documents from the #2020election. A federal judge in May denied the county’s request to force the federal government to return the ballots.

An overview of today's supreme court rulings
The supreme court ruled that Donald Trump’s firing of #Federal #Reserve governor
Lisa Cook was unconstitutional,
in a landmark ruling that limits a president’s authority over the central bank.
In its opinion, the court said that Trump does not have the constitutional authority to fire a Fed governor without cause.
The ruling is a major win for the central bank, which has spent the last year under attack from the White House.
But, in a separate case, the justices ruled that Trump can #fire leaders of #independent #agencies or commissions,
ending 90 years of court precedent that curbs executive power.
That case centered on Rebecca Slaughter, whom Trump fired as Federal Trade Commission member in March last year over email,
telling her that keeping her as a commissioner would be “inconsistent with [the] administration’s priorities”.
The court handed Trump another loss, refusing to hear his bid to overturn a $5m verdict in favor of E Jean #Carroll
in a case in which a jury found him liable for #sexually #abusing the former magazine columnist and then #defaming her.
The 2023 jury verdict and a $5m civil judgment remain in place.The high court declined to take up the case in a brief, unexplained order.
There were no noted dissents.
The supreme court sided against national Republicans and the Trump administration to allow #mail-in #ballots that arrive after election day to be counted, upholding the law in more than a dozen states.
The Republican National Committee had challenged a Mississippi state law allowing mailed ballots to be counted if they arrive within five business days of election day, so long as they were postmarked by election day.
The court’s liberal justices pointed to federal laws that allow for grace periods, while noting that a ruling here could also implicate early voting, another common practice.
The court also refused to revive a $300m #defamation lawsuit filed against #CNN over its coverage of a prominent attorney’s remarks made while defending Trump during his 2020 impeachment.
Alan Dershowitz said CNN aired only a portion of the comment made during his defense of the president,
distorting his meaning to make him look like he’d “lost his mind”.
The network said that multiple outlets had interpreted his remarks in a similar way, and Dershowitz couldn’t show CNN was trying to mischaracterize what he said.
The court’s majority declined to take up the case in a brief, unexplained order.
And finally, the supreme court threw out a judicial decision involving a Virginia man’s challenge to a #geofence #warrant used by police to access cellphone location data near a crime scene leading to his conviction for armed robbery.
The justices threw out a lower court’s ruling against defendant Okello Chatrie, who had argued he was subjected to an illegal search
and that evidence in his case should be excluded.
The court agreed that a search had occurred, but sent the case back to a lower court to conduct further analysis. -
Yes! Another win for the #people of the #UnitedStates!

Y’all, did you know that Trump’s handpicked mail czar has declared that unless states give the Post Office lists of all voters, they just won’t deliver mail ballots. Just…won’t deliver them.
This is of course highly unconstitutional, especially since a federal court ruled today that the executive order underlying the request is …wait for it…unconstitutional.
Still, there’s a couple days left to yell at them about this nonsense and tell them to cut it out. You can do that here:

Unbelievable
The #FederalGovernment can keep the #2020election ballots from #Georgia’s #FultonCounty that were seized by the #FBI from a warehouse near #Atlanta, a judge ruled Wednesday.
US District Judge JP Boulee’s decision came after lawyers for the county had argued that the #ballots & other #election materials, as well as any electronic copies the #DOJ has made, should be returned because the seizure was improper & #unconstitutional.
