In case you hear the treasonous lies about the Georgia video that claims voter fraud

CBS news radio in NY has decided that broadcasting Trump's lies is more important than the truth. They claimed there is a video showing voter fraud. CBS 880 News radio LIED and should have their license revoked. It caused me needless grief until I found this

Watched the hearing video last night and was wondering if there was any response. I noticed the Times didn't seem to have any coverage and figured it was just another nothing burger but this makes a clear rebuttal and fact checking report.

Did WCBS report that a claim was made about voter fraud? Or did they actually CLAIM voter fraud?

That Gov Kemp suddenly demanded an audit after a video was shown that showed ballots being counted after the supervisors had left.

Should they NOT report that an audit is happening?

that is the domain of the state's Secretary of State. As for why he is a corrupt Republican who wants to kiss Trump's orange backside. It was a bit misleading in the way 880 news reported it. Still, the justification for the request was the purported video that is nothing but more treasonous republican lies. The way CBS 880 news reported it, you would think they found the smoking gun.

CBS 880 News has spent most of the election carrying the water for Trump and the GOP. So I shouldn't be surprised that they pushed the false GOP propanda.

as establishing the visual. My first question was - how do we know people were told to leave? Who has that authority and why would people follow those commands? The use of the word “suitcase” especially given how much it’s used was suspicious as well.

suitcase has sinister connotations like ballots were smuggled into the room.


The people pushing this lie should be charged and tossed in jail

Just a guess but I’d say that’s chain of custody. It has a handle and wheels - it MUST be a suitcase.

According to Gabriel Sterling, those totes don't even have ballots in them when they are under the table. The ballots are being counted, and then the ballots are returned to the totes afterward. He also says the observers left after the ballots were open of their volition.... no one told them to go, and they were free to return at any time.

When I saw the video, I was simply confused.... any narrative of "fraud" had to be superimposed on it. It was good to have what I saw related to the actual process. As usual, Rudy was spinnin' a yarn.

No one was "sent home." If you assert otherwise, prove it. Sterling explained the process, which is what you see on the video. You loser Trumpers just can;t stand that your "God Emperor" got his ass shellacked by Joe and Kamala.

BTW, Georgia law PERMITS polls watchers, it does not REQUIRE them. Stop getting your "news" from OANN.
