Folks, these people cannot keep their stories straight. A few days after the election, Fulton County Elections Director RICHARD BARRON told us the banning of GOP observers at the State Farm Arena was no big deal, because the ballot counters were still "under the supervision of a state observer."
This, unsurprisingly, turned out to be a lie. Today, Fulton County Elections Director Richard Barron told the Fulton County Election Board,
at about 11:15 they were fully scanning again, and once they were scanning Carter Jones, the State Election Board monitor, he told me 11:42 or 11:52 that he arrived.
This is well over ONE HOUR AFTER the ballots were pulled out from under the table. So OF COURSE the state election observer didn't see anything suspicious. HE WASN'T EVEN THERE!
Once the dirty ballots were pulled out they obviously would look like any other ballot, so the fact that the state observer arrived late undercuts EVERY SINGLE DENIAL they have made.
That is a HUGE decision to make. That is the director, who is supposed to make the process fully transparent for all parties, making shady calls to continue without giving opposing watchers due notice or access to the process, and pretending that everything is A-OK.
His phone calls and messages for that night should be under subpoena ASAP. Why he made the decision to continue counting after kicking everyone out is CRITICAL to understanding whether his intent was to break the laws or if there actually was a justifiable reason to continue counting and also NOT give due notice to opposing watchers (good luck with that one).
