The fact they can't get up close to inspect what's happening makes this is a joke. They're basically just watching people say "Biden" and "Trump" for hours over and over. There's no way to know if any of the ballots are valid or if the tally is being kept correctly. If cheating is in fact going on, the watchers being there would only make it slightly more difficult to cheat

And even if the counts don't match the original counts they're just gonna say "oh well it's still in accepted margins" and that'll be that. No recourse if we don't fight.

One watcher caught them making stacks of 10 for trump and stacks of 9 for Biden.... even though they can say whatever they want they still need to cheat.

Another caught a stack of 1000 biden ballots labelled as a stack of 10,000 ballots

It still blows my mind that anyone at all could think any of this is acceptable.

Here's how you do a recount with a plexi screen in place.

Counter looks at ballot. Tells tabulator who it's for. Tabulator marks that down.

Counter then holds ballot up to screen for observers to verify that it was read and tabulated correctly.

Observers then maintain their own tally.

At the end of the count, both observers check their tally against the tabulator's. If all three don't match, you fucking start over and do it again.

I don't care if it takes weeks. I don't care if it costs millions. What I care about is that it's accurate.

why are the Republican observers even sitting there if they can't inspect the ballots for legitimacy? Just fucking walk out and file an obstruction report. end of story!!

Yes, exactly. Which is why for the first full day of this, if you watched the livestream/saw footage people took, many of the watchers were SITTING THERE SCROLLING THEIR PHONES. (And getting paid $30/hr to do so.)
