I have been working from home for a long time. I didn't realize how much I missed having adult conversations.

I'll second @DisenchantedTruth 's take, great points made.

@TaLoN132 working from home can sux.

Where are the affidavits regarding the GA counting scandal? The ones claiming they were told to leave?

I can try to find them, give me a bit.

@TaLoN132 that is why god created offices

Oh thank you. I was looking myself.

I like it... I used to spend 3-4 hours a day on the road - sometimes more depending on meetings and traffic. SoCal is so spread out.

For years, as spent as much time in my car as I did with my (awake) kids - on the days I went into the office.

DedKraken shared this link last night, in case anyone missed it: https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2020/12/fact-check-video-from-ga-does-not-show-suitcases-filled-with-ballots-pulled-from-under-a-table-after-poll-workers-dismissed.html

I don't mind working away from home, i just hate driving around...each time i start and stop i loose something or fear that i will.

Just checked Kelli Ward's Twitter. Surprised she hasn't mentioned it.

https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/18694655/pearson-v-kemp/ I believe these are the ones referenced.

I have nothing to link you to....but a court ordered a small sample 100 ballots be verified. 3% of those were duplicated in error. So a larger sample was ordered 2500 ballot. If you look in the comments, that 11% seems to be signature match issues...and 0.5% of the ballots were duplicated in error.

Any word on if they all go one direction?

Ward released a press statement that they only got through half the stack anyway, before the court ordered ruling to continue, if I remember correctly.

I know nothing more. I'm sorry!

I read that article the day this all cam out. While it does demonstrate it is not as bad as we initially thought I have problems with what was said. It claims that the legal “bins” are not suitcases. That was the terminology utilized at the center not meant to be taken as literal suitcases. As you can see there are actually two angles on the table, one of both sides. The article claimed that they were actually not under the table but “next to it on the floor”. The issue is you can confirm this from the second angle. They are clearly not next to the table. The last thing that is a problem is they claimed the watchers were not sent home however that doesn’t match their independent testimony and there has been no audio proof or counter affidavits I have seen to back up a claim. So I personally rate that article as misleading.

It helps that TWO news sources also posted when they were sent out at 10:30 and told that counting would resume the next day.

Only got through half of which stack? The 100 or the 2500?

The 2500, one moment...

Its a tough situation. Everyone wants it to be black and white but this could have all be avoided if they were allowed to walk around.

It's hard to watch that video and not think "Damn, she just finessed a whole state!"

In other news....Smartmatic's head will be stepping up to the Head of Open Society Foundations...which is Soros play place.

brb restarting my slow af pc

ok!

Yeah same conclusion these guys came to and they should know, they lost their argument before the Supreme Court. https://www.lawfareblog.com/state-legislatures-cant-ignore-popular-vote-appointing-electors

I've wanted to see that, too. The reporting on this has been dishonest in the RWM. AZ had a total of 52,897 duplicated ballots - this is when ballot won't scan for some reason - like they got damaged when extracting from the envelope or was jammed or for whatever reason. A hand copy of the votes is made with reps of both parties present (in most states) to ensure that the duplicated ballot reflects the original damaged ballot. There must be a ballot ID that lets them match up the ballots. In any case, a sample of 100 of them indicated a 2-3% error rate. They reportedly did another sample of 1600 and there was a discrepancy in 9 ballots that effected both candidates. They are going to do another audit of 2500 per the court, but they are seeing the numbers that would have any effect on the election. Here's a fairly detailed article on it: https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/12/03/arizona-republican-party-lawsuit-overturn-election-results-goes-trial/3794819001/

Thanks! I hadn't seen that video at all.

Yep! I keep tabs on her website releases. https://azgop.com/update

The problem is that these cases will be different enough to warrant their own precedent. All they would have to do is demonstrate how the popular vote has not been determined due massive irregularities and this is the purpose of the article 2 remedy in contrast to to simply telling citizens to “kick rocks” like that case was.

@Corndog, you just advanced to level 1!

@TaLoN132 i still say the system design is too old school 1776 rules imposed on 2020 society

It shouldn't be hard to figure out when those cases ended up under the table. They have footage of the table being set up at 8:17AM or something like that. So, some time between then and when they were taken out, there should be footage that shows how they ended up there.

Seconded. The argument sort of rests, I believe, on two postulates.
1) Election results are not tampered, and accurately reflect the will of the people. This I believe is still up to the courts to decide, especially in regard to SCOTUS.
2) The legislature cannot be swayed to believe that the election results have been tampered with. I think this will be the more likely of the two postulates that will fall apart. Honestly, I expect that states *may* not send electors at all based on this premise, giving more time for this litigation to settle in courts.

if information system activity is not logged does it make a sound ?

I can't argue with that... One of the main reasons that the EC was set up was because they did not believe the electorate would be well informed enough to warrant their involvement in the decision. The average person is now exposed to more information in a day then they were in a year.

The thing is that when they were put there doesn't amount to anything is you can't show a chain of custody log that gives them credence. Anyone could roll ballot boxes in and who would know if they were fake or real?

Which is what that article should have said but they chose not to. Unfortunately that doesn’t give me much more faith in the validity of that article. At any rate placing them there was a mistake that even if well intended, now opens up arguments from the other side. Very least a bad practice.

I thought I saw the supposed suitcases being wheeled in in early morning preparation sort of stashed under the white table before being pushed under the black one. I may be mistaken though, I'd need to check again.
