Election heads investigate
‘potential double voting’
BY KATE BRUMBACK
Associated Press
ATLANTA — Georgia’s
top elections official said
Tuesday that his office has
identified about 1,000 cases
of “potential double voting”
in the June primary election
— a felony he’s determined
to see prosecuted.
These voters submitted
absentee ballots but also
voted in person, a problem
that happened across 100
Georgia counties, and elec
tion officials didn’t catch
them in time to keep the
second votes from being tal
lied, Secretary of State Brad
Raffensperger said.
“No one gets to vote twice.
Everyone gets one vote,”
Raffensperger said.
It wasn’t immediately
clear whether the outcome
of any races may have been
affected.
The revelation follows
a suggestion last week by
President Donald Trump
that people who vote early
by mail should show up at
their local polling places on
Election Day and vote again
if their ballots haven’t been
counted.
The president said in a
series of tweets Thursday
that voters who submitted
absentee ballots should go
to their polling site to “see
whether or not your Mail
In Vote has been Tabulated
(Counted). If it has you will
not be able to Vote & the Mail
In System worked properly.”
Election officials warned
this could cause further dis
ruption and long lines on an
Election Day already com
plicated by the coronavirus
pandemic.
Raffensperger said his
office’s investigators will
hand the findings over to the
state attorney general and
local district attorneys for
possible prosecution. Double
voting is a felony that is pun
ishable by one to 10 years
in prison and a fine of up
to $100,000, Raffensperger
said.
“A double voter knows
exactly what they are doing,
diluting the votes of each and
every voter that follows the
law,” Raffensperger said.
He said repeatedly dur
ing a news conference that
those 1,000 voters intention
ally cast two ballots, know
ing they had submitted an
absentee ballot but still
showing up to vote. But when
he was pressed on that point,
Raffensperger didn’t pro
vide any evidence of voter
intent to game the system,
other than mentioning one
voter in Long County who
he said bragged about voting
twice.
The American Civil Lib
erties Union of Georgia on
Tuesday offered legal assis
tance to voters accused of
voting twice or for anything
else related to voting.
“The ACLU of Georgia is
at the forefront of protect
ing everyone’s sacred right
to vote,” executive direc
tor Andrea Young said in
an emailed statement. “We
want every Georgia citizen
to know that if you are being
threatened with prosecution
for exercising your right
to vote, please contact us
immediately.”
Extra virus safeguards planned
for overturned ship removal
BY RUSS BYNUM
Associated Press
SAVANNAH - Workers
coming to the Georgia coast
to cut apart and remove a
giant cargo ship that over
turned a year ago will be
sequestered at a nearby
resort, which will close to the
public for up to four months,
in an effort to prevent coro
navirus infections among the
salvage team.
Tuesday marked a year
since the South Korean
freighter Golden Ray cap
sized off St. Simons Island
soon after leaving port on
Sept. 8, 2019. Experts deter
mined the ship was too badly
damaged to be floated out
intact, so they plan to slice it
into eight massive pieces for
removal by barge.
Cutting on the ship had
been scheduled to begin in
late July, but was delayed
after nine workers tested
positive for COVID-19. The
multi-agency command
overseeing the salvage opted
to delay until after August
and September, typically the
most active months of the
Atlantic hurricane season.
The salvage team still
hopes to begin the cut
ting in early October, said
Coast Guard Petty Offi
cer 2nd Class Michael
Himes, a spokesman for the
command.
Himes confirmed the com
mand has booked the resort
Epworth by the Sea to keep
about 100 salvage work
ers housed in a “bubble”
for a four-month period.
The resort will be closed to
the general public Sept. 22
through Jan. 21. Its website
says it has lodging for 1,000
overnight guests. The Bruns
wick News first reported
the plan, citing a letter by
Epworth CEO Joel Willis.
“Once we start cutting, the
ship gets more vulnerable
and there’s a lot of different
factors that could impact
the schedule,” Himes said.
“The one we think we can
have the best control over is
COVID-19.”
First, all arriving crew
members will be housed at
a hotel for a 14-day quaran
tine period to ensure they’re
not infectious before being
transferred to the resort,
Himes said. Even after that,
they will be subjected to
daily temperature checks
and other safety protocols.

Men’s Virility Restored in
Clinical Trial; 275% More
Blood Flow in 5 Minutes
A newly improved version of America’s best-selling
male performance enhancer gives 70-year-old men
the ability and stamina they enjoyed in their 30’s.
A new discovery that increases nitric oxide availability was
recently proven in a clinical trial to boost blood flow 275%
America’s best-selling
sexual performance
enhancer just got a lot
better.
It’s the latest
breakthrough for nitric
oxide - the molecule
that makes E.D. woes
fade and restores virility
when it counts the most.
Nitric oxide won the
Nobel Prize in 1998.
It’s why “the little blue
pill” works. More than
200,000 studies confirm
it’s the key to superior
sexual performance.
And this new discovery
increases nitric oxide
availability resulting in
even quicker, stronger
and longer-lasting
performance.
One double-blind,
placebo-controlled study
(the “gold-standard”
of research) involved
a group of 70-year-old-
men.
They didn’t exercise.
They didn’t eat healthy.
And researchers reported
their “nitric oxide
availability was almost
totally compromised,”
resulting in blood flow
less than HALF of a man
in peak sexual health.
But only five minutes
after the first dose their
blood flow increased
275%, back to levels
of a perfectly healthy
31-year-old man! “It’s
amazing,” remarks
nitric oxide expert Dr. A1
Sears. “That’s like giving
70-year-old men the
sexual power of 30-year-
olds.”
WHY SO MUCH
EXCITEMENT?
Despite the billions
men spend annually
on older nitric oxide
therapies, there’s one
well-known problem
with them.
They don’t always
work.
A very distinguished
and awarded doctor
practicing at a prestigious
Massachusetts hospital
who has studied Nitric
Oxide for over 43 years
states a “deficiency of
bioactive nitric oxide...
leads to impaired
endothelium-dependent
vasorelaxation.”
In plain English, these
older products may
increase levels of nitric
oxide. But that’s only
half the battle. If it’s
not bioactively available
then your body can’t
absorb it to produce an
erection.
Experts simply call it
the nitric oxide “glitch.”
And until now, there’s
never been a solution.
NEXT GENERATION
NITRIC OXIDE
FORMULA FLYING
OFF SHELVES
Upon further research,
America’s No. 1 men’s
health expert Dr. A1
Sears discovered certain
nutrients fix this “glitch”
resulting in 275% better
blood flow.
He’s combined those
nutrients with proven
nitric oxide boosters in
a new formula called
Primal Max Red. In
clinical trials, 5,000 mg
is required for satisfying
sexual performance.
Primal Max Red contains
a bigger, 9,000 mg
per serving dose. It’s
become so popular, he’s
having trouble keeping
it in stock.
Dr. Sears is the
author of more than
500 scientific papers.
Thousands of people
listened to him speak at
the recent Palm Beach
Health & Wellness
Festival featuring
Dr. Oz. NFL Hall of
Fame quarterback Joe
Namath recently visited
his clinic, the Sears
Institute for Anti-Aging
Medicine.
Primal Max Red has
only been available for
a few months — but
everyone who takes it
reports a big difference.
“I have the energy to
have sex three times in
one day, WOW! That has
not happened in years.
Oh, by the way I am 62, ”
says Jonathan K. from
Birmingham, AL.
HOW IT WORKS
Loss of erection power
starts with your blood
vessels. Specifically,
the inside layer called
the endothelium where
nitric oxide is made.
The problem is various
factors THICKEN your
blood vessels as you age.
This blocks availability
causing the nitric oxide
“glitch.” The result is
difficulty in getting and
sustaining a healthy
erection.
How bad is the
problem?
Researcher shows the
typical 40-year-old man
absorbs 50% less nitric
oxide. At 50, that drops
to 25%. And once you
pass 60 just a measly
15% gets through.
To make matters
worse, nitric oxide levels
start declining in your
30’s. And by 70, nitric
oxide production is
down an alarming 75%.
Primal Max Red is
the first formula to
tackle both problems.
Combining powerful
nitric oxide boosters
and a proven delivery
mechanism that defeats
the nitric oxide “glitch”
resulting in 275% better
blood flow. There’s
not enough space here
to fully explain how
it works, so Dr. Sears
will send anyone who
orders Primal Max Red
a free special report that
explains everything.
MORE CLINICAL
RESULTS
Nutrients in Primal
Max Red have logged
impressive results.
In a Journal of Applied
Physiology study, one
resulted in a 30 times
MORE nitric oxide. And
these increased levels
lasted up to 12 hours.
“I measured my nitric
oxide levels, you can buy
a test kit from Amazon,”
reports 48-year-old Jeff
O. “Monday night I
showed depleted.”
Then he used
ingredients in Primal
Max Red and, “The
results were off the
charts. I first woke
around 3 a.m. on
Tuesday very excited.
My nitric oxide levels
measured at the top end
of the range.”
FREE BONUS
TESTOSTERONE
BOOSTER

Dr. Sears testosterone
boosting formula Primal
Max Black for free.
“If you want
passionate ‘rip your
clothes off’ sex you had
in your younger days,
you need nitric oxide to
get your erection going.
And testosterone for
energy and drive,” says
Dr. Sears. “You get both
with Primal Max Red
and Primal Max Black.’’
