A conservative group that claimed to uncover a ballot stuffing scheme in Georgia has told a judge it has no evidence to back up its allegations.

A Fulton County Superior Court judge in Atlanta signed an order last year requiring True the Vote to provide evidence it had collected, including the names of people who were sources of information, to state elections officials who were frustrated by the group’s refusal to share evidence with investigators.

In their written response, attorneys for True the Vote said the group had no names or other documentary evidence to share.

      Yeah, of course, but there’s a difference between lying to us and lying in court.

      Lying to us just subverts democracy, which so far doesn’t appear to have any consequences.

      However, if an attorney lies in court, that can lead to disbarment.

        Well, like I say, they have been lying to the court the whole time.

        “We have evidence!”

        “Great! Where is it?”

        “Our evidence lives in Canada, your honor, you probably don’t know her…”
