It could have been an honest mistake also. Just miscommunication not intentional.

It's carefully edited to try and explain away wrongdoing.

Omg

You guys will come up with any excuse

Poll watchers went home as well.

Thinking it was done. Then the workers came back to break state law.

Thats what happened to germany in 1918!

Ive heard this argument, and i raise you the fact that miscommunication can happen, to the fact that after its discovered to be exactly that, you don’t continue misunderstanding

or miscommunicating

you don’t just continue going because oh

we werent supposed to stop

go get the people who left

They’re not gone

@Recalibar hence they were confused when they overheard on the loud speaker poll workers could go home

You do if you're the government

I would appreciate that if this were the case, they would be honest.

Like, actually.

@em they aren’t required to be there for the counting

James im gonna block u

@em, you just advanced to level 5!

Which is why they continued

@james j "Ding-dong. This is a message to all poll watchers. Please go home. The election is now over."

that is a shitty argument and you know it

This is hilarious 🍿

Honestly, a lot of my concerns with the video would be alleviated if the poll workers came forward and said "hey, we made a mistake, we should not have been counting those ballots, this was clearly an error on our part but those were official ballots that needed to be counted and we regret that the poll watchers went home."

It's even more hilarious that your popcorn emoji has a "click to learn more" hover feature.

@em You are suggesting he made a shitty argument on purpose?

But Nah. "Not a mistake. No wrong-doing."

Over and over again yes

Well there is.... Im sorry. The ballot do not get counted at the time they are removed from the outer envelope. This is just a fact.

A voter send in an application for a ballot. The signature on the application is matched with the signature on file. If it matches and the application show them eligible to get a ballot one is mailed.

When the ballot come back the signature on the outer envelope is matched to signature on file.

The ballot is then removed from the envelope and the signature on the back of the envelope (the oath) is matched with the signature on the ballot itself.

Then and only then are the ballots that passed all those steps are scanned and counted.

Go to the SoS website and look for yourself... this is the process.

Interesting strategy, Might be a trap.
