From the 60 minutes interview with Georgia Election officials:
Trump campaign ad: America deserved an honest election. This is what they got: suitcases of ballots added in secret in Georgia…
Gabriel Sterling: It's before 10:00. The observers and the press are still in the room to see all of this occur.
With Republican and Democratic observers visible on the video, the still uncounted ballots were placed in official boxes which were labeled, locked with tamper-proof seals and stored below the table.
Gabriel Sterling: This is where they're packing up because they think they're going home. They're packing up to seal them so that nobody can, you know, mess with the ballots when no one's there.
But, less than an hour after the boxes were stored, Sterling says the staff was told they would have to keep counting through the night. So, the ballots were pulled out and counted. Sterling told us
President Trump's team had always had the entire, unedited, video.
Gabriel Sterling: From my point of view, they intentionally misled the state senators, the people of Georgia, and the people of the United States about this to cause this conspiracy theory to keep going and keep the disinformation going, which has caused this environment that we're seeing today.
Scott Pelley: Are you saying they lied to the--
Gabriel Sterling: Yes.
Scott Pelley: --Georgia State Senate?
Gabriel Sterling: I'm saying that Rudy Giuliani looked them in the eye and lied.
Brad Raffensperger: And Rudy Giuliani knows that. He also, I believe, you know, he has some ethical standards as a member of the bar. He knows that what he said was not true. But our state senate did not ask us to come in there so that we could rebut what they said. And it was actually left as the gospel truth, and it wasn't. It was fabricated.
