Fulton County Board of Elections addresses State Farm Arena video

9:20 a.m. | Here's what Fulton County Elections Director Rick Barron had to say about the surveillance video from State Farm Arena that has become a major point of contention among those who believe there was fraud in Georgia's election process:

"I'll just address the timeline of that evening - the staff at State Farm that evening, they began letting certain people go, no announcement was ever made to leave, for anyone to leave. Certain staff that were on the cutting stations, that were on the flattening stations, that were extracting from the inner envelopes, those staff left as work completed. I found out sometime, I think a little after10:30, that they were gonna cease operations and I told them not to do that... at about 11:15 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 that he arrived. There were media in the room, external affairs representative there until approximately 11:15. The Secretary of States investigator arrived at 12:15, and they scanned until all the ballots they had available to scan were complete and then cleaned up the room.

"What the video shows is that they have pulled out plastic bins from underneath the desks, those are bins that they keep under their desks near the scanners. They will cut those seals that are on those, open those up and pull the ballots out.

"They were still in the process of cleaning so they hadn't sealed those ballot boxes up, so they were able to just start right back up, normal processing that occurred there.

3. The conspiracy theorists don't understand the step-by-step process for counting the votes. They

should really learn the process before commenting that what occurred could be fraudulent. They are simply throwing random sh*t at the wall to see what sticks.

4. Ignorance of the electoral process is a HUGE part of all these CTs.

A lot of these CTs would have been harder to start if the general population had an understanding of their local electoral process. I had an exchange with a friend-of-a-friend who claimed that millions & millions of unsolicited ballots were sent out. I responded, you know what an undertaking that would be? Besides the logistics of matching the paper of the ballot & the design of the envelope, you do realize that not everyone gets the same ballot? You would have to make sure each voter got the correct ballot. Your friend who lives a mile away from you may have a different ballot than you. His response was that if people are getting different ballots then that right there is fraud. They either don't or won't understand.

Personally, I think election workers should be pulled from the public just like jury selection. Everyone should have to work at least one major election early in their life to understand & witness the process.

7. General involvement is a great idea...

... I work at an institution affiliated with one of the early investigations into the diebold voting machine source code that was found open on the internet. He gave a lecture about all of the horrible hypothetical hacking scenarios that were possible.

He kept up his research into election security and, in order to become more knowledgeable, he volunteered to help run several elections. A year or so latter he gave a follow up lecture on the topic and told us that being involved in the election process was really an eye opener and that he now realizes how improbable and even impossible those hypotheticals are given the procedural constraints.
