Short video on what happened at SF arena on Nov. 3rd, 2020

Hi all,

Here's a short video I made discussing one particular piece of misinformation (which is still probably believed by at least 95% of Trump supporters) that was put forth by Trump's legal team at the Georgia senate hearing on the election on Dec. 3rd, 2020:



This will come as no surprise to most everyone here, but I thought it might be useful to put out there for anyone on the fence about the shenanigans that Giuliani and the rest of Trump's legal team got up to in their efforts to overturn the results of 2020 presidential election.

This is my first attempt at making a video, so let me know what you think. Also, if there are any video experts out there who want to take this further, I'd be happy to discuss because I've done a fair bit of research about what happened at SF arena and have a good deal more information.

ballot counting was stopped, the Republican observers were asked or forced to leave (that bit is also untrue -- they were never forced or even asked to leave), and then only after they left was ballot counting resumed. But the video shows that ballot counting never stopped. The Republican observers left fully aware that ballots were still being counted.

This is important because at least 95% of Trump supporters are convinced that ballot counting was stopped. But this is not true. The election workers processing the envelopes were indeed sent home (from the video it appears that Shaye Moss communicated this to the workers around 9:50pm -- note that contrary to what Trump's legal team says there is no evidence on the video that she ever spoke directly to the media or observers), but ballot counting never stopped and the Republican observers left knowing this.

That the ballot counting SHOULD have stopped and restarted once observers could come back?

Because with it being video taped, obviously we can see what is going on.

Were the workers supposed to pack it up and start again the next day? There were votes to count and they counted them.

as the doors to that room were never closed. You can see this in the video from the reflection in the window. That room was accessible to the public until the time the election workers left the room around 12:50am.
