1/ I've seen this video, and I have some thoughts. First -- I want to make it clear that the presumptions/narration here is doing far more work than the "evidence" of the actual footage. Just pause and think about it...

2/ Ballots being a suitcase or under a table don’t make them shady. Look at the room. It's chock full of votes. There were 5 million votes in Georgia. Were these ballots being rescanned? Cured? Were they even absentee ballots? Were they even ballots at all? You can't even tell.
3/ None of this is clear from a brief one minute clip. But even if you take the narrator at their word (which is given Trump lawyers & OAN a lot of credit, based on their history so far) there's still nothing here that's clearly nefarious...
4/ These could be absentee ballots, mail-in votes, military ballots, votes from overseas. Just because it's Atlanta doesn't mean all these votes were for Biden (duh). Also: they're on camera!!! Again -- another instance where we are WATCHING THE VOTE COUNT. This is the big crime?
5/ But sure - let's assume all those bags are full of Biden votes. Let's assume federal crimes being committed by election officials in a room with 4 different camera angles. Let's assume the big Democratic plot was hiding presumably fraudulent ballots under a table for a day...
6/ Georgia just ***hand recounted*** 5 million votes. Audited. Canvassed. In a state with elections that are controlled by Republicans who very much did not wanna lose. You're telling me they didn't catch tens of thousands of fraudulent votes that were processed on camera? What?
7/ Also, the narration doesn't match what I'm seeing. This person claims there are no observes -- but this room certainly looks like it's full of election officials and potential observers. GA SoS office has also pointed this out:

END/ Anyway, like most other claims I covered in the mega thread, this one looks to just be taking normal election stuff and making it seem really nefarious, all while asking us to totally suspend any skepticism of assumptions being made.
It's pretty stupid, and not evidence.

Oh look, someone actually did some reporting on this and it’s pretty much the total opposite of what Trump is alleging. leadstories.com/hoax-alert/202…
