From the article:
Two high-level officials with the Georgia secretary of state's office and a state elections board monitor each told Lead Stories that their investigations revealed nothing suspicious in the video.
Yeah, because THIS is not suspicious, palming a thumbdrive?
You guys need to get your stories straight across all these fraud claims.
For example, in this one, where you claimed a
Dominion technician was "caught" inserting a thumb drive into the computer and "manipulating votes".
Trumpers claimed:
“@CodeMonkeyZ: "Watch a Dominion Representative at Gwinnett County Election Central, responsible for tabulating ballots and certifying results, download data to a USB from the Election Management Server, plug it into a laptop, manipulate the data, then palm the USB.
The Election Management System (his first computer) should not be connected to anything and prepares tabulation reports for export to USB drive. You are supposed to deliver the USB drive, not plug it into an external laptop and manipulate it in the file explorer before palming it”
In the article, of course, this claim is completely debunked. Unfortunately, this young technician was doxxed by you folks, he and his family have received death threats, his wife has received sexually explicit threats and all he was was a low level employee, 20 yrs old, doing his job.
But, as was pointed out, the USB drive is supposed to be delivered which is one explanation for what appears to be a thumb drive in the video.
The most likely explanation though is it isn't a thumb drive at all. You can't tell what the hell it is. It could be chapstick or a tampon, but you've created an entire conspiracy theory out of something that "looks suspicious" but you have no idea so you are willing to destroy lives without verifying anything.
Now that you've doxed her and her daughter, I wonder what their lives will be like? If one of your nutters will attempt to assault, murder or rape them? What threats they are now living under? That's the craziness of the conspiracy theory world.
From the article:
The officials said the ballots seen in the video were in regular ballot containers -- not suitcases -- and they had been removed from their envelopes and processed while news media and election observers for the Republican Party and Trump campaign were present.
'Suitcases' is just a nickname from the people that work at these ballot counting centers, because the containers have an extendable handle like a suitcase. No one truly believes that these are literal suitcases, OMG.
I disagree with you here. It's not just a nickname. People making the claim were implying that they were brought in from somewhere else secretly in suitcases or totes. People really are that dumb.
From the article:
The media and party observers were never told to leave because counting was over for the night, but they apparently followed workers who left once their job of opening envelopes was completed, the chief investigator for the secretary of state told Lead Stories. The observers were free to return at anytime, she said.
Bullshit, they were told to leave due to the burst pipe, and the workers were not supposed to stay and count all night without an observer/minotor from both candidates campaign teams.
1. The Fulton County burst pipe occurred at 6am on Tuesday, delaying the start of the absentee ballot counting. This does not correspond to the time table of the supposed "suitcases of fake ballots being counted" when people were supposedly "told to leave".
2. No one was told to leave.
Per Gabriel Sterling, Republican Sec of State for Georgia:
"When the workers began packing up to go, there were two groups, the cutters and the counters. Cutters opened, stacked and prepared ballots for scanning. Scanners … well, they scanned. All of them heard a supervisor say we are finishing for the night, because the cutters had completed their work. The scanners heard they were ‘done’ and started packing up to leave. During that time the elections director called the absentee supervisor at State Farm to tell him the scanners needed to continue their work. So people had already started to leave or had left … cutters, media, monitors. But
the video shows no new boxes of ballots brought out from a table, they were all there when the media and monitors were in the room. The video shows them getting back to work scanning.
When the (state elections board) monitor arrives they continue to do the same thing they had been doing all night. When the (secretary of state) investigator got there they continued doing the same thing."
From the article:
Georgia law allows observers, but does not require them to be there for ballots to be counted, she said.
law.justia.com
At least three persons who are registrars, deputy registrars, poll workers, or absentee ballot clerks must be present before commencing; and three persons who are registrars, deputy registrars, or absentee ballot clerks shall be present at all times while the outer envelopes are being opened. After opening the outer envelopes, the ballots shall be safely and securely stored until the time for tabulating such ballots....
Such committee shall have the right to designate two persons and each independent and nonpartisan candidate whose name appears on the ballot for such election in such county shall have the right to designate one person to act as monitors for such process. ...
Why do you think monitors are required? To make sure everything is valid and not having votes secreted away and brought in for tally that have no chain of custody.
And at least three persons were present (see Sterling's statement). What's the point here?
Why do you think these suitcases of ballots were hidden? How does that NOT break the chain of custody?
No votes were "secreted away" - no votes were "hidden".
Those containers were of ballots already processed (outer envelopes removed, info verified) earlier in the day, UNDER the eyes of the required officials, observers, and media present. All you are doing is looking at a brief videoclip of a few minutes and totally ignoring the rest of the day. The entire count was on surveillance video...correct? Ok.
Where is the video showing these being secreted under the table?
FIVE STATES all stopped counting in the night, and *POOF* Biden is ahead when they resume, overcoming a Trump lead of thousands of votes, but that is all 'normal' for Democrats? roflmaao
Everyone fully EXPECTED that Biden's lead would grow because the absentee votes were counted after the in person votes, and in many cases, absentee ballots were not allowed to be even PROCESSED (envelopes removed, signatures verified, etc etc) until after the polls closed. It's no surprise that Biden jumped ahead late, even the Republicans expected it based on how hard they tried to restrict the counting of absentee votes.
WHICH 5 states are you claiming stopped counting?
It wasn't Michigan...
...
why is this Republican election challenger watching over election inspectors as they examine a ballot as votes are counted into the early morning hours on Nov. 4, 2020, at the central counting board in Detroit?

It wasn't Georgia...where a 6am water pipe burst caused a delay...
In Fulton County, the state’s most populous county and home of Atlanta, absentee ballot counting was delayed by four hours after a burst water pipe caused flooding in State Farm Arena, where ballots were being processed. None of the ballots were damaged, but the incident put Fulton — a Democratic stronghold — behind in the vote-counting process. (As of 2:45 p.m. EST on Nov. 4, Fulton County was still counting ballots.)
"A small team of Fulton County Registration & Election workers continued to process absentee ballots overnight last night and a larger team began work at 8:30 a.m.," said Jessica Corbitt, director of external affairs for Fulton County. "Last night, 74,000 absentee ballots were tabulated (and) included in results. There are approximately 42,400 (ballots that) will be opened, scanned and adjudicated today … Work will continue until completed."
According to this,
the ONLY state that stopped counting at night was NC:
The only state that stopped counting votes overnight on Nov. 3 was North Carolina — but that doesn’t mean it’s done counting votes, and the halt had nothing to do with Trump being ahead in the state.
"North Carolina stopped counting votes on election night because there were no more votes to count at that time," said Patrick Gannon, public information director for the state Board of Elections.
In North Carolina, 100% of precincts have reported in-person votes, and the results show that Trump has a slight edge over Biden. But Gannon said county boards of election across the state will now begin counting provisional and absentee ballots that arrive by Nov. 12, as long as they’re postmarked by Election Day.
I have full confidence that when rational people with an IQ over room temperature sees this video that they will believe their own two eyes, not Democrat lies.
I have little confidence in your ability rate IQ's.
