right. so by Barron's own admission there was no independent observer from 11:15 till 11:42-11:52 when Carter Jones arrived. Why did he leave in the first place if there was no announcement that counting was to stop? Why did the media leave at 11!5 (per Barron's own admission) if they were back in full swing?

In other interviews, he said "he" sent them home because they were exhausted.

In yet other interviews, the workers were sent home because they finished their jobs.

There are so many inconsistencies here that it warrants further clarification.
