A local group delivered a petition to the Cherokee County Courthouse Monday, challenging the state’s contract with Dominion for its voting machines and any elections conducted with the machines.
The Truthseekers of Cherokee County wrote the petition to “challenge the legal and factual conclusions relating to the federal and state elections, with the contract being one area of consideration,” said Kelly Sirois, a member of the group.
The petition was signed by representatives of multiple organizations, she said.
Sirois did not respond to a question about how many people signed the petition by press time.
Patty Baker, clerk of Superior, State and Magistrate Court, confirmed Wednesday that the grand jury received the petition.
“The Truthseekers are a group of like-minded individuals who felt like the 2020 election was stolen and have devoted time, energy and resources to uncovering the truth,” Sirois said. “Our once little group is now a movement.”
According to the group, its initiative is for hand marked paper ballots, same day voting, and for the paper ballots to be hand counted at the precinct level.
“Truthseekers are a group of grassroots patriots who are fighting for fair elections — we are not willing to move on from the stolen 2020 elections,” Sirois said. “We also believe the 2024 elections will be stolen again unless we get the broken system fixed or come up with a remedy. The entire Truthseekers platform is bipartisan, we welcome anyone who wants to fight for fair elections and ditch the Dominion voting machines. Stolen elections can work both ways, so we do have many Democrats, Independents and Republicans interested in working with us all across the state.”
Members of the group were joined Monday morning by another group, Take Action Cherokee, as well as other county residents in downtown Canton. Over 100 people met at Cannon Park to pray for the success of the petition. The groups were also there to remind people of their constitutional and religious freedoms, Take Action Cherokee co-founder Shannon Wymer said.
State Rep. Charlice Byrd, R-Woodstock, was among those at the gathering.
“All rights do come from God — not at the capitol, not at the Gold Dome, and not at our courthouse,” she told the crowd.
Some of those in attendance handed out copies of “Common Law Hand Book For The Grand Jury” to members of the grand jury as they went to lunch to remind them of their role and importance in the community, Wymer said.
Sirois said the groups gave the petition to the Cherokee County grand jury instead of the Georgia grand jury because “we the people have more power with the Cherokee County grand jury.”
“The county grand jury is the common law grand jury which trumps all others, including the Supreme Court — it is the highest court in the land,” she said Tuesday. “The petition doesn’t belong in state court, it belongs in the people’s court. These petitions can be sent to any county in the U.S. When the people summon the grand jury, the district attorney is removed. It is a private matter between the people and the grand jury. When the district attorney summons the grand jury, the DA becomes the authorized advisor. The importance of the people summoning the grand jury is vital for the fabric of this republic remaining absolute. That is what we did yesterday.”
Last year, the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution urging the Georgia legislature, the secretary of state and state elections board to eliminate the QR codes used in the statewide voting system.
