Fact Check: Video From Georgia Does NOT Show Suitcases Filled With Ballots Suspiciously Pulled From Under A Table; (FB lol)

Does security camera video show a Fulton County, Georgia, election supervisor suspiciously pulling suitcases filled with ballots from under a table after telling poll workers to leave the room? And did that election official continue to illegally count ballots without required monitors in a manner that calls into question Joe Biden's narrow win over Donald Trump in Georgia? No, those claim are not true: Two high-level officials with the Georgia secretary of state's office and a state elections board monitor each told Lead Stories that their investigations revealed nothing suspicious in the video. The officials said the ballots seen in the video were in regular ballot containers -- not suitcases --

trump team has affidavits they were told to leave and the workers actions ingdicate it they stopped conting waited till everyone left pulled out the cases and began conting...
bs excuse

[The Duke]

Why don’t these Demos just stop making excuses and “skin that smoke wagon”?

[etcb]

The officials said the ballots seen in the video were in regular ballot containers -- not suitcases

The attorney making the presentation referred to the cases as suitcases but they were later referred to as ballot containers. Matter of semantics, but no doubt or claim that whatever they were called, they contained ballots and those ballots were moved to the scanners.

[petitfour]

They was wearin gloves. Who knows what they touched.

[DOC44]

those are suit cases on wheels just like you see so much of at airports. FACE BOOK AND SECRETARY OF STATE OF STATE LIE.

[vigilante2]

Fact check is as rigged as the election

[21twelve]

I was trying to point that out early - they weren’t “suitcases”. And of course that is what the traitor lying liberals will focus on - “they aren’t suitcases, they are ballot bins!!” (And ignore the leaky pipe story, 2 hours with no one in the room after they told everybody to leave and no more counting, etc.)

[CtBigPat]

I posted the video to Facebook, got the "fact check warning.

[rlmorel]

Just watch when someone decides to show the video of what the workflow looked like from the rest of the day before that. I’ll bet there aren’t any suitcases stuffed with ballots pulled out from under a covered table.

[plain talk]

“”No, those claim are not true.”

He don’t speak good English. “

LOL

[bray]

They emptied the room and pulled them out from hiding to be more honest. How stupid does he think America is?

[Sequoyah101]

Don’t believe your lyin’ eyes huh?

If these ass holes keep this up someone is going to get hurt.

Doxing anyone?

[easternsky]

They are Ballot holders and they are called suitcases, to most workers, they look like a suitcase. They are doing a play on words.

[Right Wing Assault]

The media and party observers were never told to leave because counting was over for the night, but they apparently followed workers who left once their job of opening envelopes was completed, the chief investigator for the secretary of state told Lead Stories. The observers were free to return at anytime, she said. Georgia law allows observers, but does not require them to be there for ballots to be counted, she said.

The observers weren't told to leave. If everyone is leaving, why would they stay? They were free to return at any time. Why? Supposedly no one is inside handling ballots. If they tried to go inside again, I bet they would have told no one inside and they can get inside in the morning.

Weasel explanation.

[hanamizu]

“...The officials said the ballots seen in the video were in regular ballot containers — not suitcases —”

---

OK, so why were the ‘regular ballot containers’ kept out of sight under the table, why were they removed after observers were told to go home, why did the workers start feeding them into the machines with no observers present? Why did these ballots have to be counted unseen?

Is there some sort of time stamp on when these ballots were counted? These people are pissing on our shoes and telling us that it’s raining.

No matter how this turns out, a very large number of Americans have learned that they cannot trust the media, and in many cases they cannot trust their state to conduct a fair and open election.

[tinyowl]

So they weren't, technically, suitcases?

Who gives a Shiite what they were technically?

And do you ask the bank robber to investigate whether he just robbed a bank?

[MIA_eccl1212]

yes.
they committed felonies, several thousands of them.

Are you going to believe your eyes or what the overlords tell you you saw?

C’ mon, man!

[Secret Agent Man]

its lawyerspeak everyone

they say the claim is false because we are incorrctly calling the containers suitcases

not that they didn’t contain ballots

fact is they were hidden under tables

fact is they were only brought out when observers had been kicked out using a bogus excuse
