The Georgia Secretary of State's office is investigating whether or not a group of ballot monitors in Atlanta were misled into leaving their posts early during ballot-counting on Election Night.
During a Georgia state senate hearing on Thursday, President Trump's legal team revealed security footage from Atlanta's State Farm Arena depicting ballot-counting that occurred there late into Election Night and early into the next morning. The footage, a Trump team lawyer alleged, depicted poll monitors being dismissed from their posts late at night, after which ballot-counting appears to resume, with workers appearing to pull ballots from "suitcases" found under a table.
Walter Jones, a spokesman for the Georgia Secretary of State's voter education division, confirmed to Just the News that the Secretary of State's office "was aware that Fulton County scanning had continued during the period captured in the video presented at the Senate hearing."
"We have launched an investigation into why the monitors from the political parties left before scanning ended," Jones said. "While it was their right to leave early, we want to make certain they were not misled into thinking scanning had stopped for the night when it had not."
'Suitcases' were secure containers, official says
A spokesman in the Secretary of State's office offered further information on the goings-on apparently depicted in the footage.
"One of the things that was micharacterized about that video was that they said, 'Well, these suitcases were pulled out from under the table,'" the spokesman said. "Well, we had record [voter] turnout. And so the ballots had to be put somewhere so people could walk around."
"So there was no mystery," he continued. "These were actually secured containers that were used in a lot of jurisdictions for transporting ballots. Our folks, officials, they knew they were under that piece of furniture. It was not pulled out of the dark when nobody was looking."
Regina Waller, a spokeswoman for Fulton County, told Just the News that county officials "saw these videos for the first time yesterday when they were shown during the hearing."
"The claims made yesterday were ... debunked by the Georgia Secretary of State's office," she said. "Their monitor can be clearly seen in the videos, and an investigator has also reviewed the matter."
Waller did not respond when asked to clarify which aspect of the videos she was referring to that had purportedly been "debunked."
Waller also pointed Just the News to remarks made by Fulton County Elections Director Rick Barron during a county Board of Registration and Elections meeting on Friday.
"The staff at State Farm that evening, they began letting certain people go, no announcement was ever made to leave, for anyone to leave," Barron said during the meeting. "Certain staff that were on the cutting stations, that were on the flattening stations, that were extracting from the inner envelopes, those staff left as work completed."
Barron in the meeting said that he "found out sometime, I think a little after 10:30, that they were going to cease operations, and I told them not to do that." He said media were present in the room until shortly after 11:00 p.m.
The spokesman in the Secretary of State's office, who asked not to be named, said further that state Secretary Brad Raffensperger recently announced that the state has "250 investigations ongoing" into voter fraud allegations.
"We're asking anyone that has credible firsthand evidence to bring it to us," he said. "We want to know. Raffensperger has no tolerance for election fraud."
"Now, will all 250 of [the investigations] turn into convictions?" he continued. "Probably not. I suspect some of them may be misunderstandings. It's not necessarily fraud."
"Every lead we've pursued, we still haven't seen any evidence of widespread fraud," he said, adding that the Secretary of State's office presently does not believe that the video footage is "the smoking gun that some people think it might be."
The Trump campaign did not immediately return requests for comment on the responses to the video footage.
If they’re investigating why did they recertify?
Investigating themselves, yeah that will uncover everything I’m sure.
Yeah, but Rat-burger is way too eager to move beyond this inconvenient situation.
Investigate hell. They are actively involved in a cover-up. This is the most non-transparent election in American history, and the most corrupt.
GA SOS: Okay did anybody mislead the monitors?
Misleaders: Ah, no.
GA SOS: Okay thanks.
Bullshit stall by Raffenstreason
Several swing states, MI, WI, and PA, maybe even AZ, stopped counting at around the same time during the wee hours of Nov. 4.
I would love to see the videos of counting rooms from those states as well. I'll bet we could find something verrry interesting.
Was this story written before or after the announcement that Ga. re-certified the election, after discounting the video?
Oh sure you do. Can't wait for you to announce you confirmed
that nothing bad happened.
I am sure there were plenty of people who know they were told to leave and the counting had stopped. This is the tactic known as muddying the water. It won’t work.
Follow-up, this should be a short investigation, can we expect an answer tomorrow? Also, you state you had an "observer". Who was the observer and why weren't they seen in the video as you cannot observe anything unless you are actually there observing?
SOS is complicit. And the name of the monitor? Is it a person, place or thing?
Could the monitor be Ruby? or perhaps her daughter, Shaye?
At this point, I do not believe a single word these people utter.
The water main break, which was announced everywhere, TV, Radio, people present, was a 100% lie. They have had weeks to update machines to remove evidence, change voter rolls, add and delete ballots, destroy whatever evidence they wanted. Investigating themselves? What a farce.
As for the video tape, after they lied, removed the watchers they went straight to the ballots they intentionally hid earlier in the day. If it looks like fraud, smells like fraud, it is fraud.
About time. Should’ve happened on election night
Phone records to the lead people in those counting centers
should be quite interesting.
Five or more phone calls within moments from the same phone,
just before the shutdowns.
So, all this reporting about a water leak is BS? All this thing about the people told to leave.
Counting continued into the night, it wasn’t stopped?
Is this guy Raffensberger a total ass or what?
The entire Georgia SOS office should be conducting their proceedings in Gitmo.
This is _treason_.
BS!
They just certified the vote, per a thread here based on a FOX report.
With the hundred-plus affidavits Rudy has describing the fraud, I’ll bet this has been detailed in many of them. “Misled”. Right.
