"Is this what our Country has come to?"

================================================================
President Donald Trump tweeted on Wednesday a video showing election ballots being collected after an unnamed state had been called in the media. Just an hour later, local election officials responded.
The president tweeted the video from his Twitter account, which has almost 90 million followers.
You are looking at BALLOTS! Is this what our Country has come to? https://t.co/cI2ZTItqUi — Donald J. Trump (@Donald J. Trump)1605128361.0
"You are looking at BALLOTS! Is this what our Country has come to?" tweeted the president.
In the video a woman walks up to two men who are picking up ballots from drop boxes and placing them into duffel bags.
"I thought they collected them all? I just want to document," says the woman on the video. The worker's response is unintelligible.
"Wait, but how come they already called the state?" asks the woman.
"Because these are mail-in ballot," responds one man.
"Are there a ton in there?" she asks. "Thank you guys. Are you guys official election guys?"
One shows her his identification badge and objects to her standing too close to them, ostensibly because of coronavirus guidelines.
"Where do you guys take them?" she asks.
"Collection center," says the man.
"I just want to see because they called our state so quickly," she adds.
The video quickly garnered millions of views and many of his supporters assumed that the video was showing evidence of voter fraud a week after election day. "We're still counting"
But, according to reporter Bill Melugin of KTTV-TV, there is nothing "nefarious" going on in the video because it's from Los Angeles and was recorded the day after the election.
"There is nothing nefarious about this. LA County locked and closed all the drop boxes at 8pm on election night and ballots were collected from the boxes the next day. We're still counting. LA is very slow," Melugin explained.
Very soon after, the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's office also tried to undo any implication of wrongdoing surrounding the video.
RE: videos clips of ballots being collected from #LACounty Official Vote by Mail Drop Boxes -- Yes, they are ballot… https://t.co/tY1q59mJ9B — Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (@Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk)1605130512.0
"Yes, they are ballots; valid, legally cast ballots collected and processed by authorized election officials in accordance with the California Elections Code," they tweeted.
"The Drop Boxes are closed and locked at 8PM on Election Night and then collected the following day. These are valid ballots processed and counted during the post election canvass. Local certification in CA is on Nov 30," they added in a second tweet.
At least in the presidential race, California was called early because of overwhelming evidence that Joe Biden would carry the state easily.
Yeah, sure.
Every ballot box in LA was secured at 8 pm on election night,
The next interesting thing would be to see if they were all Biden votes.
Yes, something is horribly wrong. The dems I know oddly enough are not saying a word. And these are people who would take the victory lap in your face.
I wonder how many drop boxes there are in CA? Did they get them all locked at 8 p.m.? If they could get them locked at 8 p.m., why not just collect the ballots at 8 p.m.?
I saw this yesterday and wondered what the point was. Then it occurred to me what Trump is pointing out. The fact that our elections are now down to tens of million completely uncontrolled ballots floating around with no traceability. It’s a free for all with no accountability.
So I am to believe that the Government sends someone physically to “lock” these dropboxes at exactly 8pm, not before and not after, and then waits until the next day to again physically send someone to those same dropboxes to collect the ballots? In what universe would that make sense?

yes, that’s the entire problem with mail in ballots.
GREAT POINT !
Almost every home becomes a voting center.
“ At least in the presidential race, California was called early because of overwhelming evidence that Joe Biden would carry the state easily.”
I am stunned. They just call the state for Hiden/Ho and trash the red of the ballots!
I am sure they did the same in OR and WA too.
Therefore in these 3 blue states, YOUR BALLOT DOESN’T MATTER.
TRUMP BALLOTS DON’T MATTER!
And Trump supporters don’t matter!
Trump won, everything else is democratic propaganda.
We should probably call the election fraud hot line, and report the entire state of California.
Some of the ones I've seen seem to have their panties in a bunch about the massive shift to Parler. Some have that mocking thats used when scared, rather than humor.
I don't say anything, but my inner voice says "you should be scared".
How do I find out if Ben Sasse owns any part of the Dominion company or voting machine or software company ?
If it is a public owned corp, stockholders are listed.................

An über leftist liberal Bernie-Bro friend of mine, who is an in-your-face type of lib, told me night before last that he thinks Trump will end up winning. He is a “victory lap” kind too and he thinks Trump will win. Really shocked me.
Because that wouldn’t grant enough time to collect and mark all of the ballots gathered under ‘ballot harvesting’, silly.

In addition to the election weirdness, a lot of Dems could be getting their first ACTUAL look at Biden after an election where the media babied him and selectively edited his visuals down to five-second soundbites. Seeing Joe attempt to give a speech to seven people standing in circles was something a lot of Democrats missed. Now they’re going to get a good look at just who it was they voted for.
I have to wonder 2 things:
1. Is “locked” a verbal decree, and
2. Locked to whom?
Re #2, “locked” to the public, but who has the keys?
I’m ready I know Jesus. He made free. He made you free. I will not but by and watch this spiral into despair happen. When you American patriots are ready, just say so, you’ll have help from the north that will shock the minions of evil to the core.
