Election Observers Report Irregular Practices at Ballot Counts

[JustSomeBloke]

A few minutes ago in Chatham County, our observers watched an unidentifiable woman mix over 50 ballots into the stack of uncounted absentee ballots.

Fulton County told our observers last night to go home because they were closing up and then continued to count ballots in secret.

Today in Fulton County, they are operating a fork lift between the place the ballot scanners are located and the area our observers have been instructed to stand.

These are just a few of many allegations that are now surfacing from those tasked with monitoring voting and the counting of ballots.

Better question is how many of these claims are true

I'm curious, what basis is he alleging they continued counting ballots last night? Few vote totals came in from Georgia overnight, and the results that did came from other counties. In fact, there were lots of complaints that ballots weren't being counted in Georgia -- many felt they should have stayed. With the large number of votes that still have to be counted, I'm curious what he's basing this claim on?

You're expecting a Republican politician to base his claims on facts?

It likely is wishful thinking, a Pollyanna-ish view of the world; but I really do wish all our politicians would deal in the world of facts and not create a narrative to generate controversy.

Maybe there's a way of counting votes without submitting results at the time. I suppose they could note counts down on a piece of paper, and then submit the numbers the next morning. In any case, that was just one of many criticisms. And you don't have to look very far online to see many other criticisms submitted by observers, such as being outright denied access. Election observers are tasked with maintaining confidence in the result, so it's rather poor form for the other posters in this thread to engage in ad-hominem, on the basis that a Republican repeated concerns that had been relayed to him by election observers.

I won't be clicking those links, but the website looks highly suspect. The domain is literally .fail, so it's probably trolling.

'Sharpiegate' allegations fuel unproven claims of voter fraud in Arizona

Fairfax, VA -- they stopped counting last night and carted uncounted ballots out through the open streets in makeshift cardboard boxes to a "lock box", within sight of the Capitol

Knowing the human heart i wouldnt be surprised if there was cheating but i wouldnt trust either side and i wouldnt trust the media. Im indifferent until undisputable facts are released

There’s always some people making bizarre claims every election cycle. I remember a UK one not too long ago where Facebook was blowing up with people insisting that if you used a pencil on your ballot some mysterious people would alter your vote. Elections always bring out the crazies and people who don’t understand election processes.

I clicked on it. Looks like they're filing suit.

"nitter.dark.fail" seems to be some kind of Twitter reposting site; the link given in the original post just shows the same chain you can find on Twitter proper here:

Given that the site seems to just be a way to view Twitter posts, I'm not sure what its purpose is. Maybe it's a way to preserve twitter posts in case they're later deleted?

Forkliftgate.

Sorry, its just too much of a mouthful.

Irregular Practices

A vote counter in Philly used their salad fork for the entrée. I read about it on fb.

Thanks Bella. That means alot to me hearing those words come from you as i consider you to be very intelligent. I also see you as being very strong both mentally and spiritually, and dedicated to the word of God. It is clear you built your house on rock instead of sand. Thank you and God bless!

Thank you for the kind words. Let’s encourage one another to draw nearer to Him during these difficult times. May Adonai bless and keep you.

In the utterly stupid game of hold my beer our two countries are playing, the 'Mericans are currently having Sharpiegate

Not only is it the second Sharpiegate (first one was when President Manchild edited the path of a hurricane to make himself look good, somehow), but over there some of them are a bit aerated because Sharpie ink on ballots will gum up the counts or transfer onto other ballots or something.

Sharpies are used precisely for the opposite reasons to this, they're quick drying so they won't do either of these things.

Typical of the colonies to try and one up us on our silly pencil ballot conspiracy theory we had a while back ಠ_ಠ

Alternatively perhaps the US and UK could just stop this game of hold my bleach and for the good of the planet it's probably best that the UK wins

I think the specific concern was that markers might bleed through the (double-sided) ballots and cause issues with the markings on the other side. However, the Arizona Secretary of State has confirmed that the machines are perfectly capable of reading ballots filled out in marker, and the columns are offset enough that any bleed-through (if it happens) won't affect the other side.
