White House chief of staff Mark Meadows made a surprise appearance at Georgia’s audit of absentee ballot envelope signatures Tuesday afternoon.
The former Republican congressman from North Carolina was flanked by Secret Service agents as he arrived at the Cobb County Civic Center in Marietta, where state officials were in the process of conducting signature verification on absentee mail-in ballots. He was not allowed in the room where officials were inspecting ballot envelopes, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Meadows had previously made headlines with a tweet Monday evening vowing to “fight back” against President-elect Joe Biden's victory.

Sen. Lindsay Graham, R-S.C., said Tuesday he has been given information Georgia has a "credible process" for conducting a signature audit of absentee ballots from the Nov. 3 election.
Graham posted to Twitter:
"I have just been briefed about the signature verification system in Georgia regarding 2020 mail-in ballots. From what I've been told, sounds like they now have a credible process in place to do a signature audit. Look forward to hearing the results!"
He was not allowed in the room where officials were inspecting ballot envelopes, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Why, are these state scrutineers complete idiots? Obviously.
They live in deep fear of our populist,” America First” President. The days of the deep swamp will end, one way or another.
The fact that they would not even let Meadows in the room means the fix is still in.
Is this the “signature audit” being done by college students rather than a professional auditing firm?
I think so.
funny to read the progressive left’s opinion of the first count.
20 Nov: The Nation: Why Georgia’s Unscientific Recount ‘Horrified’ Experts
Observers, including the inventor of the auditing process used by the state, were skeptical of a measure seemingly aimed at placating the GOP.

In a surprise move, Raffensperger announced on November 11 that he would order the count. He used what Gregory Miller, chief operating officer of ***OSET Institute, a nonprofit organization that researches and develops election technology, called “pretzel logic.”...
Georgia came to the idea of conducting risk-limiting audits last year, after US District Judge Amy Totenberg ordered the state to overhaul its entire election system because of outdated technology plagued by computing vulnerabilities. The state is one of only a handful that uses the same system statewide, whereas most states use a patchwork of voting methods...
In the end, Georgia lawmakers decided to ignore most expert advice, and spent $107 million on a new computerized voting system, including voting machines that print out paper ballots—the object of this week’s count. They did, however, agree to carry out a version of risk-limiting audits, with the guidance of a nonprofit organization called Voting Works...
On-the-ground observers of the count included Harri Hursti, an election cybersecurity expert who has studied elections in five countries, including the United States...
Hursti also noted that staffers and volunteers in different counties — and sometimes in the same county — were following different procedures for counting the ballots. “Hand recounts only work when people are trained in and apply consistent methodologies,” said ***Richard DeMillo, computer science professor and interim chairman of the School of Cybersecurity and Privacy at Georgia Tech. “You could look at live feeds [of the hand count] and see that this is not the case.”...

it is Eddie Perez of OSET who was the one chosen to debunk the Smartmatic stuff on Fox News, etc., and DeMillo is -

Smartmatic: New ***Georgia Tech white paper supports innovative voting systems security approaches
Boca Raton, United States - June 26, 2019 - A new white paper released by the Center for Advanced Communications Policy at Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), with support from Smartmatic Corporation, calls for the development of an objective and public voting security model that employs an independent third-party assessment approach to evaluate the security of voting systems...
Following the 2016 elections, confidence in the security of election systems in the U.S. is at an all-time low, while concerns about foreign interference are on the rise...
“Georgia Tech proposes a comprehensive model for voting security standards to address concerns about the overall integrity of the U.S. electoral system,” said Kevin Shelly, President of Smartmatic USA. “Smartmatic believes that adopting this framework for secure, accessible and transparent voting technology is an important step toward safeguarding elections at every stage.”

The time is almost near. That sound you hear is gunfire not fire crackers.
Before the election, it was the left who were really worried that they will be cheated out of election. They actually did extensive research. But, after this election, they all went silent. What they thought the legitimate concern is now a crackpot conspiracy theory because it is conservatives who are raising the concern this time.
Wikipedia: Sequoia Voting Systems
On June 4, 2010 Dominion Voting Systems, a Canadian company engaged in manufacturing electronic voting hardware and optical scanners, acquired all physical and intellectual assets of Sequoia Voting Systems as well as retained technical and sales staff (***LINK)
According to Dominion, these equipment were not used in the 2020 election.

Transaction Further Expands Dominion’s Geographic Reach; Retention of Sequoia Employees
and Acquisition of Facilities Will Assure Seamless Transition for Current Sequoia Customers
JAMESTOWN, New York .... Dominion Voting Systems Corporation today announced that it has
acquired the assets of Sequoia Voting Systems, a major U.S. provider of voting solutions serving nearly 300 jurisdictions in 16 states. As part of the transaction, Dominion has acquired Sequoia’s inventory and all intellectual property, including software, firmware and hardware, for Sequoia’s precinct and central count optical scan and DRE voting solutions, including BPS, WinEDS, Edge, Edge2, Advantage, Insight, InsightPlus and 400C systems.

The Sequoia acquisition comes on the heels of Dominion’s transaction last month to acquire the primary assets of Premier Election Solutions...
He was not allowed in the room where officials were inspecting ballot envelopes
"Officials"?
Not to be trusted.
I don’t have a lot of warm fuzzies about this particular signature audit. As I understand it, the Governor and/or SOS allowed it in only one county, and it’s the county where there is the least likelihood of fraud. It couldn’t be done in Fulton or other counties where massive cheating happened without a doubt.
Is any investigation being done where stacks and stacks of mail-in ballots were processed that were in consecutive numerical order and had no fold creases? There is zero chance hundreds or thousands of ballots would be returned by mail in perfect numerical order. And there is zero chance that a mail-in ballot could fit into the special envelope without being folded.
Graham may be covering up, too. How would he know for sure if things are done properly behind the room?
When Graham talks, I presume coverup.
Some dolt on CNN said that the election was “magnificent” (I think that’s the word he used). He said the only cheating he saw possibly was by the GOP in Kentucky to give McConnell the win. Otherwise, there was no cheating at all. He’s a has-been Republican, and a butt buddy of Colin Powell. They were playing the clip on OAN or Newsmax yesterday. Name is Wilkinson or similar.

Why not?
He thinks its “credible” from “what he's been told”?
Seriously?
It's no surprise there was cheating on such a massive scale.
Yeah, he wanted to believe whatever had been told, and he did, giving them a free hand to commit fraud again.
These “men” have no jewels. They are Eunuchs.
Graham has his thirty pieces of silver
