President Donald Trump’s legal team on Thursday presented surveillance footage to a Georgia State Legislature hearing that appears to show election ballot-counting workers kicking out poll observers late at night on Election Day before pulling out suitcases allegedly filled with ballots.
A woman who identified herself as Jackie Pick, a lawyer who is assisting with their legal case, said the team received video footage from State Farm Arena’s vote-tabulation center in Fulton County, Georgia. The team said that GOP poll watchers were not allowed to watch the counting process in the poll center.
But, according to Pick, an unusual occurrence took place later in the evening at around 10 p.m. ET. A woman—described as a blonde woman with braids—told workers to stop counting and told everyone to go home.
“Everyone clears out, including the Republican observers and the press, but four people stay behind and continue counting and tabulating well into the night,” Pick said. They counted unobserved until about 1 a.m.
Pick said that video footage shows Fulton County election workers waiting at their scanning areas until GOP poll watchers and reporters left the room before they started “scanning ballots,” ostensibly without any observation. Pick noted that it contravenes state and county law.
At 11 p.m., once everyone is gone, the workers are seen “pulling ballots out from underneath a table.” She asked if it’s normal to “store suitcases of ballots under a table cloth?” Pick said after reviewing footage that it’s not a normal procedure.
It’s not clear if election workers knew they were being recorded on camera.
The lawyer further alleged that the same woman with the blonde hair and braids, presumably the manager, had placed the table there earlier. It’s not clear where those ballots came from, and it’s not clear when the suitcases of thousands of ballots were placed under the table.
Witnesses have sworn in affidavits that the counting continued until the early morning hours, Trump’s team said.
“Why are they counting them when the place is cleared out with no witnesses?” Pick said.
She argued that based on the number of ballots there, it is “beyond the margin of victory” in the presidential race. It’s because three scanners—which can carry out several thousand ballot processes per hour—were working several hours that night. This process, she said, “goes on, and on, and on” until the early morning hours.
President Donald Trump said on Twitter that the video is significant evidence showing voter fraud.
Trump wrote: “Wow! Blockbuster testimony taking place right now in Georgia. Ballot stuffing by Dems when Republicans were forced to leave the large counting room. Plenty more coming, but this alone leads to an easy win of the state."
In the hearing, it was noted that officials cleared out State Farm Arena on Election Night due to an alleged pipe break. Pick and other members of Trump’s team said it’s not clear whether this was the reason why poll workers and members of the press were kicked out.
Fulton County officials haven’t responded to a request for comment about the team’s claims or the video.
In early November, a Fulton County spokeswoman told Epoch Times that they were “not aware of direction given to any observers to leave.”
However, Georgia Republican Party Chair David Shafer said Fulton County officials “falsely announced that the counting of ballots would stop at 10:30 p.m.”
No evidence, eh?
How many other Rabbits will President Trumps lawyers pull out of their hats? and When?
Did the dam just break?
That video is pretty potent. Going to be hard to explain away clear video with a time stamp.
Arrest the workers now! Threaten the hell out of them with Jail time, they well make a deal and spill the beans.
Never will be for the dems.
No matter how egregious, they will deny it, even if everyone sees it with their own eyes.
They will gaslight us.
The other counties blocked watchers and brought ballots in in the wee hours of the morning- on video too - and just ignored! Mountains of evidence everywhere.
Not even a ‘SMIDGEN’ of corruption! *SMIRK*
Does the time stamp match that surge for biden?
Jail Time my Ass, TREASON and EXECUTION, right in front of their Families.
Henceforth referred to as the great broken water pipe caper.
Curses Batman...they got us on security video!
Can’t wait for the excuse they use for that. And the lady on the panel was freaking out saying it’s been debunked and got angry and saying somebody that just left a hour ago was there and never mentioned it. Lol. Then they let her know the video just came out a few hours ago. The better thing is that they said they have another 14 hours of video to go through. I hope they have security camera footage of the back door and side doors. Would love to see them unload the ballots in a garbage can. This SHOULD flip GA. How will the media hide this.
Arrest the workers now!
Where is Georgia’s AG and Governor now?
Did Trump let them dig their hole first?
How’d the left not remember to delete the tapes?
Where is Bagpipes Barr?
Where is Wray?
This is outrageous.
Shocking.
Just to repeat a related issue:
“All Powell and Wood are saying is that Georgians should not vote through the machines and should insist on paper ballots only. Their tweets that clarify this.”
