The Trump legal team has presented what they say is compelling evidence of voter fraud, alleging that election night video footage from Fulton County, Ga., shows at least four suitcases of ballots being pulled out from under a table after election supervisors had told poll workers to leave the room. The footage appears to also show four women staying behind to count votes.
The Trump legal team presented this evidence during a
hearing on Georgia voter fraud before a Georgia State Senate committee.
“Wow! Blockbuster testimony taking place right now in
Georgia,” tweeted President Trump Thursday afternoon. “Ballot stuffing by Dems
when Republicans were forced to leave the large counting room.”
Trump added, “Plenty more coming, but this alone leads to
an easy win of the State!”
Rudy Giuliani declared this evidence to be the smoking
gun.
Grant Stinchfield of Newsmax called the
footage “a total game changer!”
But, others say there is an explanation.
Stephen Fowler of NPR says that the man in the blue
jacket that can be seen in the video is “an official monitor from the secretary
of state’s office who was there watching the vote counting.” According to
Fowler, “While some partisan monitors left, it wasn’t unsupervised.”
But, according to Jacki Pick, an attorney working with
Trump’s legal team, even though “two Republican field organizers had been sent”
there to observe the vote counting, “At no time were they permitted
to observe in any meaningful way.”
Pick explains that the four election workers remained
behind and continued counting and tabulating “well into the night,” even though
GOP workers said in sworn affidavits that a poll worker had declared at 10 p.m.
that counting had concluded for the evening and would not resume until the
following morning.
According to Pick, the poll workers that stayed behind
continued “counting, unobserved, unsupervised, not in public view—as [Georgia]
statute requires—until about 1:00 in the morning,” Pick said.
GOP poll workers learned that counting continued from
news crews.
“This shocked them, so they returned back to State Farm
Arena at about 1:00 in the morning where they confirmed that people had in fact
just left,” said Pick.
Pick also said that the Trump legal team wasn’t sure if
storing ballots in suitcases under tables was standard procedure. Reviewing
footage from earlier in the day shows that it was not routine.
“Where did they come from? Who put them there? When did
they put them there?” Pick asked.

Trump Legal Team: We Have 'So Much Evidence'
of Fraud in Nevada 'We Had to Rent a Separate Car'

An audit of 1,400 mail-in ballots in Nevada found that
two percent were cast by voters who never actually received a ballot in the
mail, and one percent were cast by voters who say they didn’t even vote.
The audit, which was conducted by Baselice and
Associates for the Trump campaign’s legal team in Nevada, found that 579,000
absentee ballots were returned to the state by Election Day. If three
percent of those ballots were improperly cast, that comes to 17,300 illegal
votes.
The Trump campaign was also granted the right to inspect
voting machine used during the election, though they’ve yet to be granted a
proper inspection.
“Machines were not usable, and we were not able to make a
determination about the accuracy and integrity of the election process based on
this inspection,” Trump’s legal team said. “We are entitled to a computer forensic inspection in
accordance with the judge’s order. We were prevented from doing one. This
was a digital election and we were not allowed a digital inspection. The
‘inspection’ today was like trying to determine if a car had failed brakes
without getting underneath the car.”
The Trump campaign alleges that 130,000 ballots from
Clark County were verified using a machine they believe was not operated
properly. They’ve long held the belief that President Trump is the true winner
in Nevada. The Silver State has six electoral votes.
A hearing is to be held in Carson City, Nevada, on
Thursday. “We have so much evidence we had to rent a separate car,” says Matt
Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union, who’s with the
Trump legal team in the state.
On Wednesday, Schlapp also
said that “The numbers of illegal ballots in NV from outside Nevada
has now doubled” from his original assessment of just 9,000.

WHISTLEBLOWER: I Drove 'Thousands of Ballots'
From New York to Pennsylvania
BY TYLER O'NEIL P J Media

driver/whistleblower Jesse Morgan speaking with The Amistad Project.
On Tuesday, a truck driver testified that he had driven thousands of ballots from Bethpage, N.Y., to Lancaster, Pa., two weeks before Election Day. Phill Kline, a former attorney general of Kansas and director of The Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, said The Amistad Project has corroborated the truck driver’s story.
“The evidence demonstrates, and it’s through eyewitness
testimony that’s been corroborated by others by their eyewitness testimony,
that 130,000 to 280,000 completed ballots for the 2020 general election were
shipped from Bethpage, New York, to Lancaster, Pennsylvania,” to a facility
incapable of processing them, Kline explained in the press conference. A
spokeswoman later clarified that the estimate ranges from 144,000 to 288,000 ballots.
“This evidence demands investigation. This evidence
demands answers,” Kline insisted. He reported that The Amistad Project is
working with the FBI and U.S. attorneys in various jurisdictions to get to the
bottom of the story.
Jesse Morgan, the truck driver involved, told his story
at the press conference.
“I drive a tractor-trailer for U.S. postal service, a
subcontractor. I drive a route route from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to Bethpage,
New York, to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and back to Lancaster,” he explained.
“On October 21, when I arrived for my usual route for
Bethpage,” he recalled, “an expeditor made three references to ballots that
were to be loaded into my trailer, including saying, ‘Hey, you have ballots
today.'”
He recalled receiving 24 Gaylord boxes full of ballots,
stacked on top of each other. He saw that “envelopes had handwritten return
addresses.”
“They were complete ballots. I didn’t think much of it at
the time,” Morgan said. When he arrived in Harrisburg, he was not allowed to
offload the mail. “I was made to wait for roughly 6 hours, from 9:15 a.m. to
nearly 3 p.m.,” he recalled.
“All of this was weird,” Morgan said. After waiting for
six hours, he went inside and asked to see the expeditor. “I was told to wait
for the transportation supervisor,” an official Morgan had never dealt with.
“He’s a top guy, he’s the kind of guy that would speak to my boss.”
“The supervisor told me to drive to Lancaster without
being unloaded in Harrisburg,” Morgan said. “I knew the ballots were loaded for
Harrisburg.” He also recalled asking for his ticket, the slip that shows he
arrived, and a late slip to prove he had been delayed. The supervisor refused
to give him the slip.
“I then drove to Lancaster, unhooked my trailer in its
normal place, and then drove my truck to where I always park it,” he recalled.
“The next day, it just got weirder. As I arrived at Lancaster… my trailer was
gone, not there anymore.”
“Since I started driving that Bethpage route, I’ve always
had trailer 10-R-1440,” Morgan said. He noticed because he really liked
that trailer.
“What happened on October 21 was a series of unusual
events that cannot be a coincidence,” the truck driver insisted. “I know I saw
ballots with return addresses filled out, thousands of them, thousands. Loaded
onto my trailer in New York and headed for Pennsylvania.”
“As things became weirder I got to thinking and wondered
why I was driving complete ballots from New York to Pennsylvania. I didn’t know
why, so I decided to speak up,” Morgan said.
Col. Tony Schaeffer, who is working with The Amistad
Project team, said the organization had backed up Morgan’s story.
Kline said sources told him Morgan’s story “matched up
perfectly on how you would insert fraudulent mail into the stream.”
At the press conference, other whistleblowers spoke about
postal workers delivering Joe Biden campaign mail while they discarded mail
from the Trump campaign.
These claims deserve serious investigation.
