Jesus christ, it's because they opened the envelopes, but needed to go on a break, so they put them in secured bins.and put those under the table.



That's not what happened though, there's a 14 hour video feed.

These workers announced that they're closing the count for the night and that everyone must leave. You can see them in the video just sitting still not doing anything until everyone leaves. Then when poll watchers leave they spring into action pull out the ballots from under the table and start counting for three more hours.

>state officials told us that the full video shows the supposed “suitcases” were actually standard containers used to secure ballots, and that the ballots in question were opened and prepared for counting earlier in the night in full view of observers.

>On Dec. 5, Frances Watson, the chief investigator for the secretary of state’s office, said in an affidavit that after reviewing the video and conducting interviews, her investigators found “that observers and media were not asked to leave” but “simply left” after they saw workers, whose job was to open the ballots, leave. She said the investigation remains open.


> Frances Watson, the chief investigator for the secretary of state’s office

We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing.

The Secretary was DIRECTLY involved in the purchase and deployment of the Dominion machines. He is refusing any signature audits. He is now being sued by GA Legislature members.

Despite what FactCheck dot org says (and how could that possibly not be trustworthy!?) I don’t think a statement from this office is going to sway anyone.

How about this, here is footage from a GA official showing just how ridiculously insecure and awful the dominion software is.

This changed my opinion on the whole mess:

There's nothing in that video that suggests the process is any more or less error-prone than a hand count.

No evidence will sway someone who's accepted one side as truth before hearing all the arguments.


Stop spreading misinformation please. It’s revolting enough that you eat this propaganda hook, line and sinker. Seeing that you are also spreading it is disgusting.


You should look up Dominion Election Systems old name: Diebold Election Systems. They did not have exactly iron clad security...

That's a futile affidavit. Where are affidavits from the investigators and the precinct staff members themselves, where they say that observers and media were not asked to leave.
