4:55 p.m. | "By policy, Georgia will not accept any ballots that arrive later than the close of polls at 7 p.m. tonight."
1 hour later...
6 p.m. | "There are some precincts in some Georgia counties that will stay open past 7 p.m. Some locations cited delayed openings and other problems."
7 p.m. | "Polls have officially closed across the state on election day.
Those who are in line before 7 p.m. will still be allowed to cast their ballot. Multiple polling locations have extended their hours after some early delays"
Let's see what caused the delays...
DeKalb County
"This extension was requested, in an abundance of caution, to ensure all electors have the full 12 hours of voting"
I didn't know "an abundance of caution" superseded election rules...
Shouldn't we delay audit the machines "out of an abundance of caution" too? 🤔
Fulton County
The Bethune Elementary School polling site will remain open until 7:40 p.m., according to a judge's order.
"Due to technical issues workers did not begin processing voters until 7:40 a.m. All voters in line until 7:40 p.m. will be allowed to vote."
Tech issues🤔
Gwinnett County
"power outage"🤔
Houston County
"it failed to open on time"🤔
Richmond County
"delayed opening due to poll workers experiencing problems with the electronic poll books"🤔
Spalding County
"All 18 precincts in the county will be open until 9 pm following issues w/ polling pads causing a nearly 2-hour delay."
"the people who make the voting machines caught the issue at 7:05 a.m. & said a technician had to go to each precinct to reset the poll pads"🤔
A "pipe burst" at 6am that was fixed by 8am delayed counting by 4 hours?🤔
8:40 p.m. | Fulton County election officials said they are behind - by about four hours - counting absentee ballots after a pipe burst in a room at State Farm Arena where some of those ballots were held.
10 mins later...🤔
8:50 p.m. | "Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was very pleased w/ the voting process. By midnight, maybe 1 a.m.-2 a.m., he said he feels that results from most races will be known. He does not feel that it will take until the early morning hours"
So just before the nightly shenanigans commence - and with 95% of the precincts reporting - let's see which candidate the election analysts were predicting would win
Convincing...🙄
10:15 p.m. | Not all of the mail-in/drop off ballots in Fulton County will be counted tonight. It's not considered a delay or due to any malfunction. The elections chief tells 11Alive this was anticipated because they've had a lot of them.
So... they WERE sent home?🤔
11:36 p.m. | Regina Waller with Fulton County told 11Alive that State Farm Arena absentee ballot counters have been sent home.
So... some people were sent home & the press was told they went home... but actually a few people are counting & some others are still doing IN-PPERSON counting?🙄
12:38 a.m. | Another official in Fulton County says some work is still being done at State Farm Arena w/ ballots
12:50 a.m. | "Gwinnett County officials say the county has a software problem impacting the reading of absentee ballots. Gwinnett County Communications director Joe Sorenson is saying about half of the approx. 120,000 absentee ballots may need further review"
"After being told the universe of total remaining paper ballots was 6,000 by Mr. McBlain, and after being denied access & having to obtain a court order, I sighted a total of 49,500 unopened ballots.
"There were three red spoiled ballot boxes with
several shed ballots visible in one.
I was not allowed to touch anything or take any photos. The 21 boxes in the back office were still in place, so this brought the suspected unopened mail in ballot total to 57,500."
"I could not understand how the mail-in ballot count remained essentially steady at 120,000 when I & multiple others had sighted anywhere from 20k to 60k unopened mail in ballots AFTER the 120,000 count had already been completed & updated on the PA.Gov website"
I feel like this should've been a bigger story...🤔
"Election officials in a Georgia county that could determine which candidate takes the state have flagged an issue affecting up to 80,000 hand-marked absentee ballots scanned by a new voting system" nbcnews.to/3lZd86t
"The votes, cast in Gwinnett County, are scanned in batches, and 3,200 of the batches, with each batch containing a maximum of 25 ballots, had at least one ballot that needed review, county spokeswoman Heather Sawyer said in an email."
"The batches must remain together, so the county temporarily approved the problematic ballots and re-scanned the batches, but will go back to review the ballots that previously couldn’t be scanned, which will change final vote tallies, Sawyer said."
The Georgia Dems & RINOs filed a motion to exclude the testimony of @MattBraynard & they hired an “expert”, Stephen Ansolabehere, to try to discredit his work…
After reading their “expert’s” rebuttal to Braynard's report, it’s clear that their “expert” is a very silly goose!...
🔔ROUND 1🔔
Ansolabehere claims that @MattBraynard's report never mentions what fields (other than ‘date of birth’) he used in his matching methodology…
Ansolabehere is either lying or illiterate, because Braynard explicitly states (several times) the specific fields he used
🔔ROUND 2🔔
Ansolabehere then uses a "straw man" by selecting an incomparable methodology (“Crosscheck”) in order to “discredit” @MattBraynard's methodology...
❌"Crosscheck" DOESN'T match addresses
✅Braynard’s methodology DOES (w/ the NCOA database from the US Postal Service)
"The petition serves as notification to Gov. Kemp and SoS Raffensperger that an emergency exists such that a session of the General Assembly is being called for and convened on Tuesday, December 8, 2020, at 10:00 A.M."
"In order to attend to such emergency and for all purposes provided for pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States."
"the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee was inundated with affidavits, signed under penalty of perjury, from citizens all over the state who testified to blatant election fraud & many violations of the law that have taken place during the 2020 Election & the follow-up recounts."
