Update: The explanation being floated by certain people is that the meeting that appears to take place where everyone goes home, was in fact a "misinterpretation". The explanation is that only certain poll workers (those who opened envelopes, etc...) were being sent home after being told that "we are done here". The proverbial "we" in this case meaning specifically extra workers, not everyone.
The argument is that others who left, were just confused by the statement, and that there was never any real request for anyone (other than the extra workers) to leave. Even the official explanation admits that the poll watchers in question all left with the extra workers and apparently that did not appear odd to anyone?
The timing of the meeting also was right before a break. So when they came back from break, the poll workers just assumed that other watchers had left on their own accord and continued to count. This challenges the notion that they "waited for everyone to leave" and then snuck back in. Just not all that well, in my humble opinion.
The other argument being used is that there is no law that "requires" poll watchers, but just that you cannot "prevent" poll watchers from being there. Since they did not actually prevent anyone from observing them, the fact that they counted unsupervised is not illegal and as the argument goes... not their fault.
While this seems like an explanation, it really doesn't seem like a "reasonable" or "believable" one.
- It seems hard to believe that poll watchers would be "confused" enough to leave.
- It seems hard to believe that a "break was being called" and nobody but the poll workers understood this.
- It seems hard to believe that the poll workers would not be surprised that they were left alone after their break.

This is clear VIDEO EVIDENCE of exactly what people claimed happen in multiple states. The states in question called for a suspension of counting for the night. Everyone clears out, and then a group of people come back in (without poll watchers or observers) and start scanning ballots.
Nobody ever explained how NYT needle was so wrong in Georgia (now we might know) |
Were these really suitcases or actual ballot boxes? Some are saying suitcases while others are saying they were just regular ballots. Why are they being pulled from under a desk? Suspicious? Sure? Does it prove fraud? Well we don't know. But the reason why we have poll workers is to at least make it "appear" to be on the level and to reduce the amount of suspicion.
This should be considered disturbing behavior for anyone (Republican or Democrat). There isn't a soul at this point who would not (for any reasons other than blatant partisanship) want to see this further investigated and the people who committed this act prosecuted if it turns out that anything illegal was going on..
Just the fact that they came back without poll watchers and observers and scanned ballots is troubling (if not criminal) all by itself. Even if you suggest that everything else on the video is all legitimate.
Unfortunately, the main stream media will remain vigilantly incurious and continue to claim that there is still no proof of any of these allegations, even as security footages proves them wrong. There is no shame, much less honesty, from our media anymore.

I saw the video. It's a photoshopped fake news robotics show, and you are stupid enough to believe it
Roger...
It's surveillance video from the arena itself. There is zero evidence that it was doctored.
The Trump legal team has presented what they say is compelling evidence of voter fraud, alleging that election night video footage from Fulton County, Ga., shows at least four suitcases of ballots being pulled out from under a table after election supervisors had told poll workers to leave the room. The footage appears to also show four women staying behind to count votes.
The Trump legal team has presented the fake videos
If the state government of Georgia had presented it, it might be credible.
But they have not yet responded.
You got suckered by the lame duck President
Well lot's of people were suckered, including the Governor of Georgia.
We don't know if there is a reasonable explanation or not, Roger. But nobody is suggesting that the video is doctored.
Dominion voting machines in
A two-and-a-half-minute video showing an election worker conducting an ordinary part of the recount process in Gwinnett County, Georgia, has been spun into false claims of fraud.
This is just the most recent example in a surge of falsehoods aimed at undermining the results of the 2020 election.
“It has all gone too far. All of it,” Gabriel Sterling, who oversees Georgia’s voting system, said at a press conference on Dec. 1 in which he called on President Donald Trump and other elected officials to condemn violent rhetoric aimed at election workers. “A 20-something tech in Gwinnett County today has death threats and a noose put out today saying he should be hung for treason. … It has to stop,” Sterling said.
Sterling was referring to an employee of Dominion Voting Systems who is seen in the viral video.
The video appears to have been recorded by a recount observer, and it has been circulated by conspiracy theorists, who falsely claim it shows fraud.
It was shared on Nov. 30 by Ron Watkins, who has been peddling election fraud claims related to Dominion to his 328,000 Twitter followers. Watkins is the son of Jim Watkins, owner of 8kun, the website that spawned the QAnon conspiracy theory, which regards Trump as a crusader against an elitist group of pedophiles. Some of Watkins’ election-fraud claims were included in a recent affidavit for a lawsuit brought by Lin Wood, an Atlanta-area lawyer who has also promoted QAnon rhetoric.
When Watkins shared the video, he included this text: “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 right-wing website Gateway Pundit published Watkins’ thread on the topic as though it were a news story.
But the video shows no such thing.
First of all, the person in the video wasn’t responsible for certifying election results. “Certification can only be done by the election board,” Joe Sorenson, spokesman for Gwinnett County, told us in a phone interview. The Dominion contractor was there to help with the tabulating process.
As for what the video shows him doing, the worker was conducting a routine check of the number of ballots that had been recounted, Sterling, the voting system implementation manager in Georgia, explained in a phone interview with FactCheck.org. He was using a USB drive to transfer a report about a recently counted batch of ballots to a computer equipped with a program to read it.
“This is just part of the recount process,” Sterling said, estimating that the procedure shown in the video might be done every hour or two.
We don’t know exactly when the video was recorded or by whom, but it appears to have been during the state’s recent recount. The cordoned-off section of the room where the recording was made was open to the public, Sorenson said.
The earliest version of the video we could find was on the QAnon-themed YouTube channel that Watkins cited on Nov. 30. A recount requested by the Trump campaign had started about a week before, on Nov. 24. It was scheduled to end Dec. 2.
That recount was the second review of Georgia’s election outcome. The first review was a full hand-count audit of paper ballots that was conducted under a new state law and was completed on Nov. 19. The audit confirmed President-elect Joe Biden’s win, and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, certified the results of the state’s election.
After the results were certified, the Trump campaign was able to request the machine recount.
Raffensperger said at a press conference Dec. 2 that he expected no substantial changes to the final tally following the recount.
There were no substantial changes following the audit, either.
In Gwinnett County, where the video was recorded, Biden won 58% of the vote. That percentage didn’t change after the audit, although Trump did pick up an additional 285 votes out of a total of 415,507 ballots cast.
Also, Sterling noted that the video appears to have been taken during the recount of the votes, not the original tabulation. So, if a worker manipulated the vote count at that point, there would have been a discrepancy in the numbers.
The suggestion that the video shows fraud that would favor Biden is false.
This story comes to GPB through a reporting partnership with FactCheck.org a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center.
I watched a presentation of this and found it disturbing.
Later I heard on the radio that this matter has been looked into and that there is nothing to it.
That is not explanation enough. I am open to hearing more from both sides of the argument.
The best "explanation" was that these were just normal ballots and that there was nothing wrong. But the questions still appear to be why did these people all clear out and then four people come back?

you can always guage just how much of a "GOP hoax" something is by how furiously the alky plagiarizes to refute it.
it's his "tell."
In 9:20 I was referring to the tape that allegedly shows workers who remained behind to pull ballots out from under tables and count them. I would be interested in hearing more about THAT from both sides.
An yes, the old already debunked red herring. And Roger may ad well just shut the hell up.
Reverend...
The argument by some is that the ballots were in suitcases, whereas some are saying that these were just "normal" ballot containers that are rolled in from other precincts, etc...
Why they were "pulled out from under tables and a desk" may or may not be at issue. The allegation is that the same person who cleared out the room was the same person who originally placed those particular cases under the table. Others are saying that it is not abnormal to store ballot cases under a table and that it doesn't prove anything.
Some are blaming the poll watchers for being the ones who should not have left... that they misinterpreted that counting was going to stop, when in fact it didn't.
There doesn't appear to be audio, only video... so we are largely relying on what is being said by the people who were there. They seem to claim that the same women who put these particular cases under the table (presumably so they didn't get counted by someone else) - was the same women who cleared the room - was the same women who then grabbed these particular cases to count when others were not there.
It's the classic Scott Adams case of two different movies.
Depending on your perspective, there is nothing fishy and the fact that they were alone was not their fault. Or this is proof of a grand conspiracy and that the thousands of ballots in these cases were likely planted.
The video "can" depending on your perspective... make sense to both sides.

Trump Nominee Suggests Biden Is Staging a Coup
9:24 am
“President Trump’s nominee to become a senior Pentagon official spread debunked conspiracies on Twitter that called Trump’s election loss to Joe Biden a ‘coup’ attempt and shared tweets that suggest Trump should declare martial law,” CNN reports.
“Scott O’Grady, a former fighter pilot and Trump loyalist, repeatedly retweeted tweets that falsely stated Trump won the election in ‘landslide fashion’ and that millions of votes were stolen from the President.
Updated: Who are vote counters providing suitcases of ballots in Georgia?
The Gateway Pundit identifies the vote counter, an African American woman with blonde hair who was wearing a purple top on the night of November 3, as Ruby Freeman, a small business owner. She was identified primarily by her shirt and purse, emblazoned with “Lady Ruby” and “LaRuby” respectively. “LaRuby” is the name of her business.
Freeman can be seen at several points in the now-infamous video. She is seen standing over others while they remove the suitcases, then remove the ballots from the suitcases, suggesting she may have been acting in a supervisory role.
National File has identified the vote counter in Georgia, who brought in suitcases full of ballots that were counted after observers were told to leave, as the daughter of Ruby Freeman.
In an October 26 Facebook live stream, Freeman said “Y’all want to know who my new supervisor is? It’s my daughter.” She added that “I just do what she say do and it’s her show baby, it’s her show.”
Freeman identified her daughter on the November 2 edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, writing that she, as “Supervisor of registration,” was “giving that look to the employees.” She added, “Mommie is so proud of you.” Freeman’s daughter can be seen with long, blonde dreadlocks that are dark at the roots in the photo.
I actually modified my own blog post slightly after watching the video more closely than listening to the attorney talk about it. removing a line about them being suitcases that were hidden.
Without the perspective of what is actually "normal" and not knowing if there is a reasonable reason why cases of ballots are under tables (perhaps there was no other place or room for them) - we cannot say that they were suitcases or that they were hidden.
I don't want to just "assume" everything the attorney says is true, and am willing to accept that (other than there was no reason for them to be in that room without observers, much less running any ballots through any machines) there is probably no concrete evidence that the ballots being run through can be proven to be planted.
But in my humble opinion, the video does shows a small number of poll workers obviously counting ballots without anyone observing. This, alone, is troubling enough for me to question the entire 2.5 hours.
Biden’s Popular Vote Lead Now Tops 7 Million
10:48 am
President-elect Joe Biden’s margin over President Trump in the nationwide popular vote is now more than 7 million votes and may continue to grow as several states continue counting votes, CNN reports.
Especially when the “water main break” was a leaky toilet that had been fixed at 10am Tuesday morning Election Day
It was a fucking lie to get the observers out of the building
To be clear... it's not that I didn't believe that there were poll workers in a slew of counties that worked without supervision. The amount of allegations of such is way too high to be discounted and there really has not been much push back from those who were accused. As in, the attitude from the poll workers being accused was more like... "yeah, we counted without poll watchers. So what?"
But it is more disturbing to actually watch it going on. If for no other reason than it "allows" an attorney to narrate the behavior into something that seems like criminal ballot tampering - simply because they were not otherwise following the law in regards to observers and poll watchers.
Even if everything is on the up and up, the credibility of that is now in question... or at least it should be.

After an NPR and GBP News journalist, Stephen Fowler, falsely reported that the Georgia Secretary of State and Georgia Republican Party engaged in “slight goalpost-moving comments,” Shafer corrected that the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, led by the thus-far unhelpful Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, have amended their stance, and it has always been the Georgia Republican Party’s stance that ballots were counted illegally.

Observers should have been present. Those who took part in this should be held accountable and have to answer, Why was counting done without observers present?
They should be required to testify under penalty of perjury as to whether they altered any votes.
Also, did this happen on a wider scale, and how many votes were involved?

The Winter Mitch McConnell Created
11:05 am
David Brooks:
“If we can’t get a Covid-19 relief package through Congress in the next week or two, we’re sunk. It means we have a legislative branch so ideologically divided it can’t address even our most glaring problems. It means we have representatives so lacking in the willingness and ability to compromise that minimally competent government will be impossible, even under a President Joe Biden.
“The problems a basic relief measure would address couldn’t be more obvious. Under current law, up to 12 million Americans could lose their jobless benefits by year’s end — a wretched Christmastime for millions of families, which could spawn a wave of depression, morbidity, family breakdown and suicide.
“Millions of people could be evicted from their homes. Thousands more businesses may close during the long winter months before a vaccine is widely available. These are not failing, unproductive businesses. These are good, strong businesses that would have provided jobs and opportunity for millions of Americans for decades if they hadn’t been hit by the pandemic.”
Also, did this happen on a wider scale, and how many votes were involved?
The fact that this was suggested in Fulton (and denied) suggests that we cannot simply accept blanket denials that it didn't happen elsewhere. This is proof that not only did poll workers count without supervision, but they WERE IN FACT willing to lie about.
In Georgia, Gwinnett County was the one who sent everyone home after a water pipe break was reported. Nobody is really denying that people were told to go home. Nobody "can" deny that vote totals were altered during the time that poll watchers left and the time they came back the next day. That should be enough "proof" that it happened in that county as well.
Keeping in mind that is was somewhere around that time (after poll watchers went home) that even the NYT needle moved 4 whole points (when it generally only moves a few tenths of percentages after a certain amount of votes are counted). One of those "big drops" in question appears to be the only reasonable explanation that final vote total "expectations" would have been so severely altered.
This, alone, is troubling enough for me to question the entire 2.5 hours.
You have been questioning the results of the votes coming from the major cities in the swing states in the last 2 to 3 hours, that strongly favored Biden.
1: The counting of millions of ballots takes hours more than in the lower population counties.
2: The non white population in the major cities, strongly favored the Democrats. So it's not a sign of voter fraud.
3: Even William Barr said that none of any of abnormalities were sufficient to alter the outcome of the election.
4: To have a nation wide conspiracy to steal the election would have been found by the FBI and the general media companies. Conservative or nonpartisan!
It was a fucking lie to get the observers out of the building
this whole thing is one big lie.
the left thinks that all they need is for the various powers that be to certify their respective ballots, and with that the cloud of fraud, theft and deception is lifted and everything is fine. nothing could be further from the truth.
if Slow Joe an da Ho are installed on inauguration day, this STILL goes down as the greatest heist in the nation's electoral history, and America's confidence in the integrity of our electoral systems remains totally and completely SHOT.

The whole story came from surveillance video, Roger. Fox News, Real Clear Politics, and many other "main stream media" outlets are reporting on it. The fact that one of the writers from PJ Media wrote about it, doesn't prove anything...
Other than you continue to be in denial that the video exists. At least the Reverend has the decency to ask questions about it (even if he withholds judgement about whether or not it proves any thing more nefarious than counting without supervision).
Have you come up with the evidence (or even mainstream allegations) that the entire video was "doctored" to show people working that were not really working?

Correct... The reverend asked it is happened anywhere else (other than Fulton where the video exists). I stated that Gwinnett had the so called "water main break" that sent everyone home, but the vote count continued to increase.
Mr. Presididnt.
"We’re likely to lose another 250,000 people dead between now and January,” Biden said.
He urged Americans to refrain from traveling for Christmas, saying even “with all the trouble you’re going through, you cannot be traveling during these holidays, as much as you want to.”
Warning of this Magnitude must be Supported by Science.

The social media era has changed politics dramatically.
Since the time of about FDR, we had two basic principles. A conservative/ libertarian philosophy and the regulated capitalism philosophy.
The social media era has created equally powerful alternate realities.
It started when Fox News was born as an intentionally partisan news organization.
They spread the lie,that the MSM is not non college news.
Most of the newspapers had editorial philosophies, but the majority of the free press reports were not partisan. But Fox news divided the country.
Then, Prodigy was replaced by Facebook, Twitter and in the last few years, pjmedia, redstate, Breitbart, etc..
And then the @therealDonaldTrump came down the escalator birther candidate.
Close to 50% don't believe that the election was fair.

How Many Lives Could Be Saved by Mask Wearing?
Anthony L. Komaroff, MD reviewing IHME COVID-19 Forecasting Team. Nat Med 2020 Oct 23
A model suggests that universal mask wearing could save more than 100,000 U.S. lives in the next 4 months.
Mask wearing has become politically polarizing: Some people regard it as a silly constraint on their freedom. Studies show that mask use reduces transmission of respiratory viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, by about 40%. In the U.S., only about 50% of people are wearing masks in public in November 2020. In countries with much higher rates of mask use — such as South Korea and New Zealand — sustained reductions in cases of COVID-19 have been achieved, and their economies are rebounding.
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) in Seattle has collected data from all states since the onset of the pandemic. Their models estimate that universal mask use (defined as 95% mask use in public) could save 130,000 lives between September 22, 2020, and February 28, 2021.
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) in Seattle has collected data from all states since the onset of the pandemic.
these are the clowns who projected 2.1 MILLION dead Americans due to covid by now.
we're at 10% of that.
and covid cases in the areas with the most stringent mask policies is ON THE RISE.
credibility: SHOT.
just like our electoral integrity.
hey alky, pop down to the TV lounge. i think 'the price is right' is on.

For the first time in congressional history, the House of Representatives voted to pass a measure that would decriminalize marijuana use at the federal level -- months after pulling the bill amid worries the controversial vote could cause some lawmakers to lose tight races in November.
The vote passed 228-164, mostly down party lines, with just five Republicans voting in favor of the measure. Six Democrats voted to oppose.
While the federal government continues to criminalize cannabis, House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler stressed that 36 states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical cannabis while 15 states and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis for adult recreational use. Nadler said the legislation "would reverse the failed policy of criminalizing marijuana on the federal level and would take steps to address the heavy toll this policy has taken across the country, particularly on communities of color."
I almost got arrested for possession of marijuana in 1973! It would have been a federal felony then.

WATCH "THE MAN CARD"
Shut up kputz.
A Kansas son's obituary paying tribute to his father who died of Covid-19 is going viral for excoriating mask refusers.
In the death notice, Courtney Farr, the son of the late Dr. Marvin J. Farr, who died December 1 at Park Lane Nursing Home in Scott City, Kansas, wrote that his father was "preceded in death by more than 260,000 Americans infected with Covid-19."
"Hope you're in as much peace now as you are in this picture," Courtney Farr wrote in a Facebook post about his father, Marvin.via Facebook
Describing his late father as a man born into the Great Depression and having survived World War II amidst great sacrifice, Courtney Farr said Marvin "died in a world where many of his fellow Americans refuse to wear a piece of cloth on their face to protect one another."
"He died in a room not his own, being cared for by people dressed in confusing and frightening ways. He died with Covid-19, and his final days were harder, scarier and lonelier than necessary. He was not surrounded by friends and family."
In a Facebook post acknowledging the viral obituary, Courtney Farr said he is "honestly in shock" at how many had read his obituary: "Often when we experience loss, pain or trauma, we feel so alone," he wrote, "And there's such incredible power to learning that you are not, that someone
Farr wrote that the response has been "vastly positive, but I have seen a few negative comments, including claims that I made my father's obituary political."
"Well, his death was political," Farr wrote. "He died in isolation with an infectious disease that is causing a national crisis. To pretend otherwise or to obfuscate is also a political decision."

Biden takes 98% of one batch of suitcase votes
"He died in a room not his own, being cared for by people dressed in confusing and frightening ways. He died with Covid-19, and his final days were harder, scarier and lonelier than necessary. He was not surrounded by friends and family."
huh.
what a coincidence.
this exact scenario played out over 10,000 times in NY nursing homes directly thanks to the efforts of Andrew 'Killer" Cuomo.
and he received an Emmy award for his trouble.
"Well, his death was political," Farr wrote. "He died in isolation with an infectious disease that is causing a national crisis. To pretend otherwise or to obfuscate is also a political decision."
yep.
so was every single NY nursing home death. completely and absolutely political.
perhaps Courtney Farr deserves an Emmy too for writing that obituary.

The Drudge Report headline
CNN's Wolf Blitzer quizzed Romney about the president's leadership, acknowledging that yesterday was "the single deadliest day" of the coronavirus pandemic.
On Thursday, more than 2,800 Americans died with at least 100,000 people are hospitalized across the USA.
"I think it's a great human tragedy, without question," Romney replied. "The extraordinary loss of life is heartbreaking.
"And in some respects, unnecessary. Not in all respects, but we've relaxed our standards as individuals."
If the Republicans divorced from the lame duck President, they would be respected again.

I seem to recall when Roger and every other liberal deemed Mitt Romney to be a racist white elitists who engaged in horrible acts of torture and other misdeeds as a child.
That was not long after the war hero John McCain was deemed a racist war monger who was too old and senile to be President (he was 72).
So Brown Shirt Biden lied, like many his age, he actually fractured his foot getting out of the freaking shower.
