- Right behind me in this beautiful building, it's actually the Peachtree Pine homeless shelter. - The weird thing that's happening here is that again, according to Georgia registration rolls, the people are still registered to vote from this exact same location. Over 70 people are actively still registered to vote, according to the most recent Georgia registration rolls. - So Mr. Lee is registered to vote right here. It's a highway bridge, essentially. So is he registered to live under the bridge? - So that is independent journalist David Cate, and that's just a small portion of his reporting. He says thousands of voters in Georgia are registered in empty lots, abandoned homes, a highway overpass, even a UPS store. This, despite the state of Georgia saying it has the most up-to-date voter registration rolls in the country, David Cate joins us now. Great to have you. Let's just start by saying that all of this reporting, we have not been able to verify, but these reports are shocking, to say the least. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is in charge of voter registration. He's currently considering a run for governor. In 2024, not that long ago, Brad said, quote, "Georgia's voter rolls are the cleanest in the nation, thanks to the diligent partnerships we've made to secure our elections." David, do you agree with that? - Thank you so much for having me on. Absolutely, I don't, I don't agree with that at all because anybody from the Secretary of State's office can just get in their car, drive eight minutes and see an empty lot. And, you know, most people see an empty lot and not really care about it, but when you can purchase the voter rolls for $45, like I did, and you get the most updated ones, which I got them on January 3rd, you can see that a person is, for some reason, registered to vote currently on those rolls there. You start to question, why won't anybody from that office go down there and see for themselves exactly what I saw and go around Fulton County a little bit further, just two more minutes down the road, you'll find an individual that is registered to vote under an underpass. There's no mailboxes under a bridge. And you will find this is a systemic issue across the county, but not just the county is what we've uncovered through the people that have been investigating this for five years now. It's a systemic problem across all of the state of Georgia. - This is, it's unbelievable. We reached out to the Georgia Secretary of State for comment, we haven't gotten a response, but let's take a look at another clip from your reporting. - We're at a UPS store located at 2625 Piedmont Road, Northeast in Atlanta, Fulton County, where apparently 96 people are right now actively registered to vote. And the reason we're laughing is because this is such a clear violation of law in Georgia. - It's unbelievable. The law says you're supposed to be registered at your house, so primary residence. So how can someone, 96 people claim a UPS store to be their private residence? - Not only is it 96 people, it's over thousands of people just in one single county that claim places like this as their actual physical residence, which under Georgia law, if they are registered to vote from there, it means that they are putting their head to sleep in that place, they're cooking there, they're showering in there. And you probably can guess that that is impossible to do inside a UPS store when it's hundreds of people are saying that they are designated from there. It's not just happening at UPS stores in Fulton County, it's also happening at what they call virtual mailboxes. It's a business, it's a legit place where people that may be out of the county, out of the country, that they're registered to receive their mail from there. But it doesn't mean that they qualify or that they're eligible to vote in Fulton County elections or in even the state of Georgia elections. - Information, truth is freedom. Is Newsmax, it's real news for real people.

Danger Level

Elevated

Narcissistic State

Grandiose

Authorship

Uncertain

Intensity

35%

This wordless repost amplifies an unverified segment alleging systemic Georgia voter-registration fraud (homeless shelters, underpasses, UPS stores), implicitly challenging Secretary of State Raffensperger's credibility ahead of his possible 2026 gubernatorial run. Though the subject added no text, the selection reflects a persistent paranoid-adjacent schema toward electoral institutions dating to 2020, and continuity of a grudge toward a specific past adversary. The segment's own host concedes the claims are unverified, yet the subject distributed it to his full audience regardless — confirmation-driven amplification over verification. Given the documented history of harassment against Georgia election officials following similar unverified fraud narratives in 2020-2021, this post carries elevated (not acute) stochastic risk: it names no individual for action and contains no violent language, but it reinforces distrust in the same electoral apparatus and personnel previously targeted with real-world harassment. Clinically, this reads as low-intensity maintenance behavior within a long-running contamination narrative ("the system is corrupt") rather than a reactive injury response. No acute grandiosity, rage, or cognitive markers are present, and no stylometric authorship analysis is possible since the post contains no original language — attribution rests solely on late-night posting timing, capped at low confidence. Longitudinal tracking of whether this narrative escalates alongside Raffensperger's gubernatorial campaign would strengthen future assessment.

Post Analysis: Silent Video Repost — Georgia Voter Registration "Fraud" Segment (2026-01-23)

Nature of the post: No original text. The single attached video is an unverified broadcast segment (Newsmax-style) featuring "independent journalist" David Cate alleging thousands of Georgia voters (concentrated in Fulton County) are registered at implausible addresses — a homeless shelter, a highway underpass, a UPS store, "virtual mailbox" services. The on-air host explicitly caveats: "all of this reporting, we have not been able to verify." The segment quotes and implicitly challenges Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's 2024 statement that Georgia's rolls are "the cleanest in the nation."

Because there is no authored text, this analysis treats selection and amplification as the behavioral unit — the spoken content belongs to the broadcast journalists and guest, not the subject.

Level 1 — Dispositional Traits (inferred only from the choice to post)

Low agreeableness / suspiciousness: platforming an unverified fraud claim to a mass audience.
Neuroticism (vigilance/grievance): continues a years-long fixation on Georgia election administration specifically.
Openness rigidity: recycling an "corrupt rolls" schema regardless of the segment's own non-verification.

Confidence: medium — behavioral inference, not direct expression.

Level 2 — Characteristic Adaptations

Agency/power motive: undermining confidence in a state election system historically central to his 2020 grievance narrative; incidentally pressures Raffensperger, a likely 2026 gubernatorial candidate with whom he has a documented adversarial history (the 2021 "find 11,780 votes" call).
Schema: institutions (election officials, state government) are corrupt or complicit unless personally scrutinized; the subject casts himself as exposing what officials "won't go see for themselves."

Level 3 — Narrative Identity

Protagonist role: implicit "truth-exposer"/warrior against a corrupt establishment, continuing the "stolen/rigged election" master narrative rather than a discrete new claim.
Contrasting other: Georgia Secretary of State's office, "the establishment" narrative of clean elections.
No redemption or contamination arc in this single post; it is a maintenance beat within a long-running contamination narrative (2020 loss → ongoing "corrupted system" framing).

Level 4 — Clinical-Adjacent Indicators

Paranoid features (mild-moderate): Amplifying an unverified claim of systemic fraud, targeting a specific rival official's credibility, consistent with a pattern of suspicion toward electoral institutions that persists independent of contrary evidence (multiple courts, audits, and recounts affirmed 2020 Georgia results).
Grudge-holding: Raffensperger has been a recurring target since 2020; this segment's timing (amid his gubernatorial deliberation) fits a pattern of pre-emptive discrediting of a specific person rather than dispassionate interest in election administration generally.
Defense mechanisms: Confirmation bias / selective amplification (choosing content that fits a pre-existing "rigged system" schema); splitting (clean patriots exposing fraud vs. corrupt officials hiding it); projection is plausible but not directly evidenced in this wordless post.
Not indicative of acute narcissistic injury or rage — this reads as low-intensity maintenance/preemptive-attack behavior, not a reactive outburst.

Rhetorical/Propaganda Techniques (in the amplified content, attributed to the segment, not the subject's own words)

Appeal to authority ("independent journalist"), anecdote generalized to systemic claim, insinuation via rhetorical questions ("So is he registered to live under the bridge?"), implied conspiracy without dispositive verification.

Danger Assessment

Georgia election officials were subject to documented threats and harassment following the 2020 "stolen election" claims amplified by the subject and allies (e.g., threats against Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss). Reposting a similar unverified "systemic fraud" narrative about Fulton County/Georgia — naming specific offices and implicitly a specific official (Raffensperger) — carries a comparable stochastic risk profile, even though this post contains no explicit call to action or dehumanizing language. Rated elevated, not higher, because there is no direct incitement, target-naming of individuals, or eliminationist language in this instance — only amplification of an institutional-fraud narrative with documented downstream harassment history in this exact state.
