Georgia Witness Affidavit: Fill & Download for Free

The Trump Campaign have claimed two hundred affidavits. Whether two hundred people each signed one affidavit or multiple people each signed one of two hundred affidavits or just a few people signed most of the affidavits is not known. We have seen (I think) eight affidavits in public. It would not surprise some cynics if the Trump Campaign only had eight affidavits and the others were simply pieces of blank paper (he’s done that before).The key thing here is that two hundred affidavits have not been presented to a court. There are nineteen attachments (affidavits) to the Michigan suit (Docket for King v. Whitmer, 2:20-cv-13134 - CourtListener.com) and about the same for the Georgia suit (preview: https://defendingtherepublic.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/COMPLAINT-CJ-PEARSON-V.-KEMP-11.25.2020.pdf).The suit presented in Georgia still contains a complaint about voting machines (in some bizarre and elaborate plot involving Hugo Chavez) despite Georgia performing a hand recount, making the machine results irrelevant (but consistent with the hand recount).The suit in Michigan contains equally dubious claims; Sidney Powell’s new lawsuit claiming election fraud cites a witness from a place that doesn’t existMake of all that what you will.Q: Is it true that hundreds of people have signed affidavits that they witnessed huge voter fraud against Donald Trump?

A lot of answers here, many seeming to buy into the idea of this as, at very least suspicious, and possibly the “smoking gun” everyone has been waiting for. But it might be worth pulling out some facts.This was a 90-second video without context, of a process most people are not familiar with, viewed through the lens of confirmation bias (people want to see fraud), and revealed with the flourish and drama that would make PT Barnum proud. But it hasn’t been taken to court. And it won’t be. Because it will lose. Why? Because, as Guiliani and his team already know, those who DO know the process and context have already said they see nothing out of the ordinary here.They weren’t suitcases, they were the same ballot containers used throughout the facility and elsewhere in the video. Use of the word “suitcase" (which implies something shady and suspicious) when they're quite clearly not suitcases, should ring alarm bells.The media and poll watchers weren’t “told to leave”. They chose to leave at the same time as the ‘cutters’ (who’s job it was open the envelopes) under the assumption that work was done for the night. The counters were also planning to leave but were later instructed not to by Rick Barron. At least two election officials returned and observed the continuing count after a short break. [Note for transparency: there are elements of this part of the official narrative which are legitimately disputed and there was undoubtedly some confusion here. See my edit at the bottom of the answer]The boxes weren’t “hidden under the table”. According to the officials, the bins were initially empty, ballots were opened on the table in full view of monitors by the cutters, then placed in the bins to be counted in batch later. When the counters thought they were done for the night, they began to “secure the area” - the bins were closed, sealed, and then stowed at around 10.01 pm - again, observers and media were still in the room at this point.When Rick Barron heard the counters were planning on stopping for the night, he instructed them to keep going (see below). This meant that they had to pull the sealed boxes back out from under the tables where they had been stowed in order to be unsealed and processed.The full Chain of Custody of the table (which was placed there at 8.22am, on camera, with nothing underneath) and the boxes in question can be seen for those who choose to watch the full 14-hour security footage and not a 90-second clip. [Spoiler Alert: Guiliani HAS watched it, see below]Although they’re entitled to be there, there is nothing in the State rules to say that party observers have to be present during the counting.These facts come from numerous election officials. Notably, Gabriel Sterling, the voting system implementation manager (and a Republican)…The 90 second video of election workers at State Farm arena, purporting to show fraud was watched in its entirety (hours) by @GaSecofState investigators. Shows normal ballot processing. Here is the fact check on it. https://t.co/HVJsvDjDvi— Gabriel Sterling (@GabrielSterling) December 4, 2020Also, Fulton elections director Rick Barron, who said:“What the video shows is that they have pulled out plastic bins from underneath the desks. It was normal processing that occurred there.”On finishing for the night:“I told them not to do that. At about 11:15 [p.m.] 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 [p.m.] that he arrived.”So even if the scanning was being done fraudulently (which no officials believe was the case), they had around 30–35 minutes at most before the independent monitor turned up to observe, and the implication would therefore be that Rick Barron was “in on it”, having apparently orchestrated the whole charade about them continuing to count after stopping.Indeed, this is the phone call in which Barron instructs the counters to keep counting after he’d been harassed by the media for stopping. Notice all the “suitcases” in the background.And Frances Watson The chief investigator of the Georgia Secretary of State, whose signed statement on this can be read here. (see point 7 in the images):Georgia Secretary of State’s Chief Investigator Frances Watson: “Our investigation & review of the entire security footage revealed that there were no mystery ballots brought in from an unknown location & hidden under tables as has been reported by some.”https://t.co/vBy7XCPIeE pic.twitter.com/i3euD2zA4s— JERRY DUNLEAVY (@JerryDunleavy) December 7, 2020Now, if you ARE genuinely just interested in free and fair elections, and you’re not just clinging on to any shred of hope that Trump’s team might overturn the election, then this story SHOULD trouble you. Not because it shows systemic voter fraud in Georgia. But because it shows a borderline seditious attempt to use misinformation to undermine an election.Rudy Guiliani and his team watched the full video. They were shown the Chain of Custody of the “suitcases” [hint: not suitcases] and were briefed by State investigators regarding the counting process and that there was nothing improper in the video. Everything in the post above… they know. Nevertheless, they took 90 seconds of the video, out of context, and absent of the explanations they were given, and they spun a fantastical tale to sow mistrust and doubt about the process to further their narrative that “the election was rigged”. They knew it would never stand up in court, and that they’d be risking disbarment by even trying. But as a bit of viral misinformation which perpetuates the ‘mountain of evidence’ myth, it’s worked an absolute treat, as many of the other answers to this question indicates.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 pic.twitter.com/gKxS2GwD0Z— Justin Gray (@JustinGrayWSB) December 4, 2020[The video of the interaction in this Tweet can be seen here: Georgia election officials show frame-by-frame what happened in Fulton surveillance video]********EDIT:It’s already a long answer, so feel free to skip this bit. But I wanted to touch upon some of the counterarguments made in the comments below.“The Water Leak” - Some of the conspiracy theories conflate news of a water leak in the State Farm Arena with the call end to counting, suggesting the former was used as a cover story to get people out. This is false. The two events were 17 hours apart, the leak was fixed quickly and had no influence on the counting. There’s no evidence this was mentioned as a reason for calling time on the counting.“The vote dump” - People call into question the spike in Biden votes during this period. Hands up if you’d heard a million times in the days and weeks running up to the election that mail-in votes would favour the democrats? With Trump actively discouraging mail-in voting and Biden doing the opposite it was expected. So when you’re counting mail-in ballots in an urban, Democrat-leaning district… how do you think it’s going to go?“Georgia’s Rejection Rate for Mail-in Ballots dropped from 4% to near zero” - This one came from Trump, the implication being that counters were either allowing through favourable suspicious ballots, or the boxes had been stuffed with ‘clean’ ballots. While the rejection rates for 2020 have not yet been released, the 4% figure from previous elections is a lie.[1]“The Sworn Affidavits from Republican Poll Watchers” - Two comments below this raise this point, one saying the affidavits confirm the official story, the other saying they contradict it. The truth is that they broadly support the official narrative in that the counting had supposedly stopped for the night, with the only contentious part around whether they were instructed to leave, or - as some other witnesses suggested - they drew their own conclusions and left because things appeared to have wound down and stopped. Indeed, the counters themselves believed they were done for the night at this point which would have added the general sense that “we’re done for now”. The fact the poll watchers weren’t told the counting was restarting after Barron’s phone call appears to be true, though it isn’t clear who was where at this point. They may have already left. Nevertheless, this is undoubtedly an oversight, although the independent election monitor confirmed he was told and did return. Local NBC News affiliate WXIA-TV confirmed their media reps had left the arena and weren’t aware that counting had restarted. As I have already pointed out though, there’s no legal requirement for partisan poll watchers to be present. Whether you think this was just a communications oversight or something nefarious will probably depend on your political persuasion, but the investigators erred towards the former. And, as the rest of this answer points out, even if it was nefarious, they gained nothing from it.“The Number of Ballots Counted Unmonitored” - Some commenters are suggesting that whether it was intentionally engineered this way or not, the counters were given a period of time in which there was no-one watching them (ignoring the CCTV). Some have suggested this could have equalled “tens or even hundreds of thousands” of ballots. It was actually 9,750 during the additional 2 hours of counting. And an independent monitor turned up after 35 minutes, meaning the number of actual unmonitored counted ballots was, at most, a few thousand.“The Georgia ‘Apparatus’ WOULD say that the video showed nothing, wouldn’t they(!)” - The implication is that several entirely unrelated groups, from Fulton County election board, the independent election monitors, through to the Georgia Secretary of State, her inspectors, and other Georgian election officials are all “in on it” and somehow conspired to engineer and then cover-up an elaborate plot to get people out of the room so that counters could count, in full view of CCTV, an extra 10,000 ballots to swing their state to the Democrats. Ignoring, of course, that Georgia is a Republican-controlled state, and many of those individuals are card-carrying Republicans.“It took them a month to release the CCTV!” - It didn’t. They haven’t released the CCTV to the public, nor is there any reason they would. Investigators has access to the footage immediately. The video turned up online after a month because the 90-second clip was created and released, Tweeted out by “Team Trump” and retweeted by Trump himself. By this point, investigators had already analysed and dismissed the full video.Fact Check: Video From Georgia Does NOT Show Suitcases Filled With Ballots Suspiciously Pulled From Under A Table; Poll Watchers Were NOT Told To Leave | Lead StoriesPolitiFact - No, Georgia election workers didn’t kick out observers and illegally count ‘suitcases’ of ballotsFact Checking Rudy Giuliani's Grandiose Georgia Election Fraud ClaimDid Georgia Poll Workers Hide 'Suitcases' of Ballots From Republican Observers?Footnotes[1] Fact check: Georgia rejected ballots did not go from 4% to “almost zero” in 2020

Hello!Yes, but the disturbing part is that the GOP and the fright-wing media are complicit. We all know that Weehands McNodick is refusing to concede, claiming, without evidence, that he has been the victim of widespread voter fraud.The GOP is—at this time—going along with it because of the Senate runoffs in Georgia and they want Trump campaigning for them. The GOP needs Gameshow Goring’s help to clinch two runoff elections in Georgia on Jan. 5 that will determine the fate of the Senate GOP’s majority.Also, those nicey-nice Republican donors paid a so-called “whistleblower” $136,000 via a GoFundMe campaign. The man, Richard Hopkins, claimed that a postmaster in Erie, Pennsylvania instructed postal workers to backdate ballots mailed after Election Day. Now he admits he made it all up, and signed an affidavit recanting his false claims. This was the Republicans' star witness for voter fraud admitting he lied! Erie Postal Worker Admits Making Up Pennsylvania Ballot Tampering Claims, Officials SayHere are the facts: Richard Hopkins is a USPS employee in Erie, Pa.He signed a sworn affidavit with allegations of ballot tampering/fraud and went public through Project Veritas. #USPS IG began investigating last week.— Oversight Committee (@OversightDems) November 10, 2020Meanwhile, his GoFundMe has been taken down:Now Hairplug Himmler’s fluffers at Fox and Fox Business are also promoting the conspiracy theory that the election was stolen from Trump through widespread voter fraud — even though there is no evidence to support that claim.The face of human evil and Best TeleFascist Person Laura Ingraham, had this batshit interview with another “witness” of voter fraud:This is definitely Trump pic.twitter.com/EuO1CrjK51— Nick Lutsko (@NickLutsko) November 11, 2020Laura: “Thank you for joining us, uhm, you saw something suspicious happening on the side of the Biden/Harris van, in the parking lot of the polling station. Now walk the audience through what happened.Witness: “I’m not gonna say whose party does it but thousands of votes are gathered and they’re dumped in a location. And all of a sudden you lose elections that you think you were gonna win. And, I’m not gonna stand for it. Our voting system…first of all should have voter ID. When you vote, you should have voter ID. And if you send something in, you should be sure, as a state, as a country, you should be sure that that vote is meaningful and it’s not just made fraudulently cause there is a lot of fraudulent voting going on in this country. This country should have voter ID.”First all:😂👍 https://t.co/dol3kjvovs— Kerstin / miemaus (@KerstinJuschus) November 11, 2020Biden/Harris used a bus marked with Biden/Harris to commit voter fraud out in the open in a parking lot. They didn't mark the ballots in private. They did it in...the parking lot...So just to recap: Their "witnesses" to massive voter fraud are a convicted sex offender, a guy who admitted he was paid $130,000 by the GOP to lie and this secretive robot. Seems completely legit!Seriously, if we Dems were such criminal masterminds, with such an epic plot to steal the election, would we have left Groveling Graham and Mitch the Biatch—who were on the same ballot— or any Republican in office?To conclude: This is the coup d’état Trump and his minions are plotting against the United States of America. Pretty pathetic wouldn’t you say?
