Evidence was presented at the Fulton County Board of Commissioners (BOC) hearing on June 16, indicating that Stacey Abrams “financed the main contractor used in Fulton County elections during the Nov 3rd poll and the Jan 5th U.S. Senate runoff,” according to CDMedia.

CD media reported it as a developing story saying evidence shows the financing of a staffing service called Happy Faces Personnel Group by groups associated with Abrams.

Former nine-year Precinct manager and Dominion Poll technician Bridget Thorne testified in the 2020 Election Fraud evidentiary hearing conducted by former Mayor Rudy Giuliani in Georgia on December 3 (2:18:32 timestamp) in the video below:

Thorne had helped set up voting equipment prior to the November election. She claims she was fired for speaking up before the election about the mishandling of ballots. Her affidavit can be found here.

I was a Fulton County precinct manager and Dominion Poll Tech who helped with testing/setting up equipment prior to the November election. I reported serious concerns of the mishandling of the ballots to Raffensberger’s office BEFORE the election. I was fired for doing so.

In the June 16 meeting, Thorne told the BOC that she had “repeatedly tried to work early elections but Happy Faces doesn’t seem to respond.” She contacted local officials to see how she could work as a poll tech, but they redirected her to Happy Faces. She also described how “SoS was threatening Fulton elections with huge fines if they had another disastrous election.”

Thorne also explained that when the Secretary of State (SoS) offered staffing substitutes for warehouse workers who had been quarantined in the fall, “Fulton County declined their offer and brought in unqualified, untrained, hundred percent minority Happy Face employees.” Thorne quoted a 2014 Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) article regarding a company Abrams founded called NOWaccount, a company that “secures government contracts.” Stacey Abrams, according to Thorne:

“Owns 16 percent [of NOWaccount]…NOWaccount is registered as the only secured party provider for Happy Faces. NOWaccount provides the line of credit…with the purse strings connection of Stacey Abrams to Happy Faces, you must ask does she have influence over who gets hired to work for our elections. Can she or her activist groups also recommend employees? With Happy Faces working one hundred percent early voting, ballot adjudication, absentee ballot processing, warehouse, dropbox, signature verification—they are basically running our elections. Shouldn’t we know who they are recruiting? Shouldn’t we know who they are? Could an activist group have a special connection and ability to work our election while veteran poll clerks like me are shut out?”

The following document addresses her association with the founding of NOWaccount which describes the charitable organization as having:

“Pioneered a new way for small businesses to access the money owed to them for providing a service at a time when credit for small businesses was especially difficult to find. NOWaccount buys invoices from qualified small businesses so they can get paid right away, rather than wait the sometimes 30 or 60 days it takes to get paid by a customer with an outstanding invoice. NOWaccount works like a credit card but costs less to the business. With the NOWaccount payment system, companies invoice their customers as usual, and the full payment is deposited into the companies’ bank account within 5 business days, minus a flat, one-time service fee of 3%. The small business doesn’t incur any debt. You can read about how NOWaccount works here http://nowaccount.com/” 

Abrams, Lara Hodgson, and “John Hayes in 2010 [started] NOWaccount, a company that provides a payment system to small businesses, improving their cash flow so they can grow and thrive.” Abrams and her partners took advantage of the Obama administration’s “Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, which included the State Small Business Credit Initiative” and “applied for this federal program to help small businesses across the country get access to capital after the recession so they could stay open, grow, and create jobs,” according to the statement released by Abrams on the project.
