I have done the public testing at our township with two machines. I’m the Republican and then we have a Democrat and we push through the ballots (100) and then run the tape and it should match. Then I take my 100 ballots and do the other machine, likewise the Dem. Tape ran for good ballots, errors, wrong precinct, etc. We tied.
So how did Republicans who worked the machines sign off on those bogus machines? Why did no one question the serial number use from our party?
Sadly there is no guarantee of equal representation by party, at least in 2020.
My understanding is that for this election, there will be State supervision at Fulton County.
But your questions are on the mark. WHY was it permitted, and WHY is it taking 3.5 years to get to evidence that had been available if sought in the first hours. The tapes and machines are quite readable. I don’t get it except powerful people wanted it to happen.
Disgusting.
I have been a part of that tabulator validation process before the election, never after. Isn’t it called L&A or similar. I forget. Dunno.
IIRC, the only 2020 people working ‘after hours’ in Fulton were democrats. But no one officially cared, eh?
