Tbh I wish I didn’t have to! But we have a good chunk of the public (and elected officials!!) believing this is true and part of a grand conspiracy, and they enact policies off of this, it must be done.

FACT CHECK: Rudy Giuliani and co. released a video snippet claiming "suitcases" of ballots were illegally added to totals and illegally counted without monitors.

Georgia laws+policies, investigators, and the rest of the video say otherwise. #gapol

State officials said their investigators watched the full surveillance video from Election Day and said those bins of ballots were already there and accounted for earlier in the day, while both monitors and the media were there.

The president's legal team came to a Georgia State Senate hearing Thursday to share allegations of fraud and misconduct within Georgia's election. Most of the claims were false, misleading or lacking actual evidence.

During the nearly 7-hour meeting of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee chaired by outgoing State Sen. William Ligon (R-Brunswick), lawmakers were repeatedly told that Georgia's election, in which President-elect Joe Biden narrowly won the state's 16 electoral votes by about 12,000 votes over President Donald Trump, was illegitimate and needed to be tossed.

The bulk of the hearing focused on arguments made by Trump lawyer Rudy Guiliani, who has traveled to multiple battleground states seeking to overturn results with dubious legal claims that allege a grand conspiracy to take the White House from President Trump. Thursday's trip to Georgia was no different.

In a series of fantastical claims and statements from various and sundry people touted as experts, Giuliani falsely told a room of mostly Republican lawmakers that Georgia's voting machines could not be trusted, tens of thousands of absentee ballots were illegally cast and counted and that the legislature should appoint its own slate of electors for President Trump.

Explosive claims made during the hearing have further undermined confidence in Georgia's election integrity among supporters of President Trump, even as the secretary of state's office has debunked the concerns and called last month's election one of the most secure and successful in recent history.

1. Republicans are only undermining their own voters.

Which is fine when it comes to the January runoff.

[malaise]

2. There is nothing to fact check

Stop feeding these beasts

[underpants]

3. ✅ well that dissolved faster than Melissa Carone's stay at the TCF center

I first heard about this 24 hours ago on Rush’s how (guest host). I knew the suitcases and telling everyone to go home didn’t add up.

8. About those suitcases...

I just spent 2 hours going through State Farm surveillance video with @GabrielSterling & state investigators. We watched chain of custody of the table & ballot boxes in question - from 8am until midnight. The boxes were packed & sealed with observers in room - nothing improper

if you are someone who doesn't even believe the simple, basic fact (that has nothing to do with anything) that these are not suitcases - you live in a world outside of reason & reality. Here they are loading the crates - while observers and media were in the room at 10:01pm

11. Sweet! And apparently PA will seat the electors as is!!

4. So, let me see if I have this straight.

Suitcases made in Pyongyang and filled with American election ballots (that were stolen from Germany during a gunfight between the CIA and Special Forces) - were shipped in North Korean boats to some harbor in Maine, from where they were sent to Georgia, and other states, and those ballots were counted in super-duper special secret ballot counting machines using Venezuelan technology, rigged by Dominion software, and approved by the ghost of Hugo Chavez.


Is that it?

[Nevilledog]

5. And Barr, CIA, FBI, Kemp, Raffensperger, and DeJoy were in on it.

[Solly Mack]

6. Of course!

Silly me. How could I forget?


lol

7. I was dubious until you brought in the heavy hitters.

9. My ballot came from the dark side of the moon.

It smelled like cheese

[Solly Mack]

12. You're saying Roger Waters farted on your ballot after consuming massive amounts of Stilton.

Meaning, Great Britain is now involved with Rudy's election fraud fabulastic (fabulate + fantastic) fuckorama.

As is sex, drugs, rock and roll, and cheese.

[Arne]

13. This is more my style

[Solly Mack]

14. I can see Wallace and Gromit being involved in election fraud - inadvertently.

The search for cheese can take you to some strange places.

10. You know you're screwed when Fox News is debunking your claim.
