Guys, wasn’t she trying to say the sharpie ‘used to invalidate it’ but not any longer? I’m confused with this one. They should’ve let her finish, if the sharpies DO invalidate the ballot then she’s caught in a lie.
Seemed to me like some ballots still read and some don't. Some counties said it was cool if you use a fine tip sharpie and some people showed the back of ballots that said sharpies didn't work. So irdk what's what.
Sharpies and ballot "curing" being applied together in a ballot count is a recipe for arbitrary / fraudulent vote counting.
Ballot handlers in any capacity should be completely barred from having sharpies or similar devices that can soak / invalidate a ballot AT ALL. Simply having them nearby should be grounds for removal if they have the potential to spoil a ballot, much less handing them out to voters to use instead of proper pens. If pens cannot be properly supplied, there should be procedures in place to properly document the issue and give absolute assurance that their ballots will be / have been counted properly.
Ballot "curing" MUST be applied fairly and uniformly. If there are ballots coming in with sharpie on them, they should be treated the same way that a ballot came in with pencil. They are either cured or spoiled together as a global policy, not arbitrarily chosen for sharpies vs pencil. In either case, they should be retained in case there was potential for fraud (e.g. someone marking over legitimate entries with sharpie to intentionally spoil them).
It's in the ballot instructions.
yep. But don't question it!
Fact checkers: "Nooooo sharpies don't invalidate ballots"
Thanks fact checkers. Hope more than candace owens start to sue them.
Hah, and it was done by Hobbs more or less by accident. She was assigned to placate the crowd and by the end of it she only confirmed their concerns.
By the end you could see the wheels in her head being like, "shit, I need to stop talking."
When ever you read stuff on the infowars site, do you read it with alex jones' voice talking in your head? I do.

I cannot open infowars for some reason. Here is the archived version: https://archive.is/sTVqH

Why did they drop the case then.
