There was no HAND recount in GA. That is precisely the problem. So of course the totals matched. Sidney talks about this in her case. Do a search of the document to see her argument.
NB: Allegedly many of the typos are a result of turning it into a searchable PDF. This is believable, but I think also avoidable and/or correctable.
Please elaborate how what Georgia did in the 100% hand recount of the paper ballots and the resulting hand tabulation doesn't qualify as a HAND recount in your opinion? What was lacking? Maybe I can learn something from you on this.
“There was no HAND recount in GA.”
Thank you for that. From the complaint:
68.
Non-parties Amanda Coleman and Maria Diedrich are two individuals who volunteered to serve as designated monitors for the Donald J. Trump Presidential Campaign, Inc. (the “Trump Campaign”) on behalf of the Georgia Republican Party (the “Republican Party”) at the Hand Recount. (Attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibits 2 and 3), respectively, are true and correct copies of (1) the Affidavit of Amanda Coleman in Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (the “Coleman Affidavit”), and (2) the Affidavit of Maria Diedrich in Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (the “Diedrich Affidavit”). (See Exh. 11, Coleman Aff.,2; Exh. 12, Diedrich Aff., 2.)
69.
The Affidavits set forth various conduct amounting to federal crimes, clear improprieties, insufficiencies, and improper handling of ballots by County Officials and their employees that Ms. Coleman and Ms. Diedrich personally observed while monitoring the Hand Recount. (See Exh. 11, Coleman Aff., 3-10; Exh. 12, Diedrich Aff., 4-14.)
70.
As a result of her observations of the Hand Recount as a Republican Party monitor, Ms. Diedrich declared, “There had been no meaningful way to review or audit any activity” at the Hand Recount. (See Exh. 12, Diedrich Aff.,14.)
71.
As a result of their observations of the Hand Recount as Republican Party monitors, Ms. Coleman likewise declared, “There was no way to tell if any counting was accurate or if the activity was proper.” (See Exh. 12, Coleman Aff.,10).
72.
On Election Day, when the Republican poll watchers were, for a limited time, present and allowed to observe in various polling locations, they observed and reported numerous instances of election workers failing to follow the statutory mandates relating to two critical requirements, among other issues:
(1) a voter’s right to spoil their mail-in ballot at their polling place on election day and to then vote in-person, and
(2) the ability for voters to vote provisionally on election day when a mail-in ballot has already been received for them, but when they did not cast those mail-in ballots, who sought to vote in person during early voting but was told she already voted; she emphasized that she had not. The clerk told her he would add her manually with no explanation as to who or how someone voted using her name. (Attached hereto as Exh. 13, Aff. Ursula Wolf)
73.
Another observer for the ballot recount testified that “at no time did I witness any Recounter or individual participate in the recount verifying signatures [on mail-in ballots].” (Attached hereto as Exh. 14, Nicholas Zeher Aff).
74.
In some counties, there was no actual “hand” recounting of the ballots during the Hand Recount, but rather, County Officials and their employees simply conducted another machine count of the same ballots. (See. Exh. 9, 10). That will not reveal the massive fraud of which plaintiffs complain.
Repeating the statement below for Religion and Politics. Discuss.
Exactly. Hand recounts were rendered impossible due to the Dominion system, the QR code’s contain the data,” hand” recounting those could take 6 months.
