Confirmation bias? A disgraced former Houston PD captain was arrested for ramming into an A/C repairman's van in October & holding him at gunpoint, claiming there were hundreds of thousands of 'fake ballots' in the van. No voter fraud - just tools inside.

The former police captain told the detective, according to the complaint, that the investigator could be a hero or part of the problem, and said 'I just hope you’re a patriot.” Aguirre claimed "Hispanic children" were filling out ballots because their prints couldn't be traced.
Similar, though less-violent incidents have occurred in Georgia. People tailed a van from Gwinnett Board of Elections & guy watching the stream from Oklahoma called police saying the van was removing voting machines. County's IT guy was upgrading phones.

And then, of course, there was the WXYZ news van with the photographer accused of wheeling in a cart full of ballots in black cases. It was his camera gear to record the counting process for the news.

Georgia's Cobb County (recently red to blue) is holding a hearing at 3pm to possibly disqualify 19,642 voters from the US Senate runoffs. Under GA law, any voter may challenge any other voter's right to vote & Board of Elections is required to hear it & determine probable cause. ImageImage
The Cobb Board of Elections has four Republicans & one Democrat. While each party gets one seat, the other members are political appointments, including one member who was appointed by the soon-to-be-former county commission chair who was just defeated in the general election. Image
All the major offices of Cobb county -- held by Republicans -- were recently voted out and replaced with Democrats (Sheriff, Commission Chair, District Attorney, etc). While the county has turned blue/purple, the elections board remains deep red for now.

I just went through the in-person early voting process again in Georgia, for the Senate runoffs. The vast majority of Georgia voters voted this way in the presidential race. Here’s how secure it is and was...
(1 of 2)
2/2
 • Poll worker checked photo ID (US passport)
• Had to sign absentee ballot application to vote early in-person
• They checked signature against my registration
• Used machine only to make selections & print
• Confirmed selections on paper ballot
• Scanned ballot myself
I paid a bit more attention this time after the Dominion allegations. There were multiple confirmation steps to get the secure card to use the ballot marking device. My selections were clearly shown on paper. After I scanned the ballot, I watched the counter go up by one digit.

There were 2 Catholic Popes in 1378 - 1410. It was known as the Great Schism. There was a 'double election' not unlike the rival slates of GOP electors today in many states. The difference here is we have a Constitution. One slate was elected by the People & the other is fantasy.
There were actually three Popes at one point after 1410. Each had their own College of Cardinals and administrations.
I just knew my Medieval Literature (English) degree would come in handy in our political coverage. Take that dad!

This is important. Fraud must be proved (and it hasn't), not disproved, but when one out of three Americans mistakenly believe there was some funny business, an audit like this that is not intended to change the results *should* put the conspiracy theories to rest.
I realize this is optimistic. But after a month of pessimism, I should be afforded a tiny sliver of hope.
The envelopes can be audited but not the ballots. Ballots are anonymized. They cannot be matched to signatures, but an audit will show what — if any — percentage of envelope signatures cannot be validated. Remember, these were already checked twice.

#BREAKING all 16 official presidential electors in Georgia cast their ballots for Joe Biden. These electors appear on the slate to which Gov. Kemp affixed the state’s seal.
#BREAKING all 16 official electors in Georgia cast their ballots for Vice President: Kamala Harris
Here's the video: Stacey Abrams leads Georgia's 16 presidential electors casting their ballots for Joe Biden & Kamala Harris, in what is normally a pro-forma/ceremonial procedure rarely followed by the People. But this is 2020, and this moment was far from assured.

No server was seized in Germany by the US military. No watermarks were hidden on ballots. Machines did not 'flip' votes from one candidate to another. They claimed Gov. Kemp, R-Georgia, was "in on it." So now are Kavanaugh, Gorsuch & Barrett part of the cover-up, too? It's absurd
If any of this comes as a surprise, based on what you've previously heard/believed, you may want to reconsider where you get your news & information. Choose multiple sources, review their track records, and check if & how those sources correct the record when they get it wrong.
