Suspiciously Pulled From Under A Table; Poll Watchers Were NOT Told To Leave

ファクトチェック:ジョージア州でのセキュリティ・ビデオで、テーブルの下から引っ張
り出したスーツケースが投票用紙で一杯というのは真実ではない

Does security camera video show a Fulton County, Georgia, election supervisor
suspiciously pulling suitcases filled with ballots from under a table after
telling poll workers to leave the room? And did that election official continue
to illegally count ballots without required monitors in a manner that calls
into question Joe Biden's narrow win over Donald Trump in Georgia?

No, those claim are not true: Two high-level officials with the Georgia secretary
of state's office and a state elections board monitor each told Lead Stories
that their investigations revealed nothing suspicious in the video.

The officials said the ballots seen in the video were in regular ballot containers
-- not suitcases -- and they had been removed from their envelopes and processed
while news media and election observers for the Republican Party and Trump
campaign were present. The media and party observers were never told to leave
because counting was over for the night, but they apparently followed workers who
left once their job of opening envelopes was completed, the chief investigator
for the secretary of state told Lead Stories. The observers were free to return at
anytime, she said. Georgia law allows observers, but does not require them to be
there for ballots to be counted, she said.
