Video shows poll workers pulling out suitcases of ballots | Georgia election hearing
NTD • Dec 3, 2020

WATCH: Footage of State Farm Arena in Atlanta shows that after poll monitors and media were told counting was done, four workers stayed behind to count ballots, at times pulling out suitcases containing ballots from underneath desks.

I recall those ballots were kept separate for the count because they
were mailed in before the date but the mail held them back.
It's as crazy as;
the wild claims on social media was that someone slipped ballots into the TCF counting center on a wagon, in the middle of the night. But the picture offered as proof turned out to be of a WXYZ-TV photographer, hauling his equipment.

When the ballot dump numbers coincide exactly with the timestamps on the Georgia video:

FAMILY FRAUD: Vote Counter Who Provided Suitcase Ballots Is DAUGHTER Of Vote Counter Identified As Ruby Freeman

"Y'all want to know who my supervisor is over here? It's my daughter, but I just do what she say do and it's her show baby, it's her show," said Freeman by

National File has identified the vote counter in Georgia, who brought in suitcases full of ballots that were counted after observers were told to leave, as the daughter of Ruby Freeman. Freeman’s daughter, who has long blonde dreadlocks, is the woman who a Trump volunteer lawyer identified as the person who brought in suitcases full of ballots at 8:22 a.m.

After the first vote counter was identified as Ruby Freeman, National File has now identified the person who provided the mysterious suitcases full of votes as Freeman’s daughter.

In an October 26 Facebook live stream, Freeman said “Y’all want to know who my new supervisor is? It’s my daughter.” She added that “I just do what she say do and it’s her show baby, it’s her show.”

Freeman identified her daughter on the November 2 edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, writing that she, as “Supervisor of registration,” was “giving that look to the employees.” She added, “Mommie is so proud of you.” Freeman’s daughter can be seen with long, blonde dreadlocks that are dark at the roots in the photo.

Freeman stated that another election worker had complained about the instructions Freeman gave her at the direction of “a supervisor,” potentially her daughter.

In a November 3 Facebook post, Freeman wrote “A lady had a problem with me telling her what a supervisor told me to tell her yesterday. This morning, lo and behold, out of nowhere, she came to give me a hug. You already know the end of that story. Judas, I’m not Jesus. Don’t play. I blamed it on Social distancing.”

The actions of Freeman’s daughter are clearly seen in the original video provided by the Trump campaign, and confirm her identity.

In this first frame, Freeman’s daughter is seen to be the first vote counter to pull the suitcases from under the table. Her dreadlocks, with dark roots, are clearly visible.

Freeman’s daughter is then seen to be the first person who actually removes the votes from the suitcases.

In this image, Freeman’s daughter appears to be issuing instructions to the other vote counters. They begin moving to the suitcases and ballots after she stands in this position and speaks.

Freeman’s daughter then retrieves a second suitcase full of ballots from underneath the table. Her mother stands nearby watching throughout this clip.

The full sequence of events is publicly available in the video provided by the Trump campaign:

In a video that recently surfaced on Twitter, Freeman’s daughter can be seen with green and spray cans containing an unknown substance.

Freeman is seen sitting across from her, wearing blue gloves. The video then zooms in as Freeman hands her daughter what appears to be a USB drive, which Freeman’s daughter conceals as she gets up and walks away.

In another video posted to Twitter, Freeman reveals an office containing boxes of mail-in ballots as she hushes her viewers. She then sits down at a desk and is given the ballots to “work” on by a man which Freeman calls “Dion.” Freeman says “Now I’m back at work, so give me some work.” At the end of the video Freeman says “Y’all see all this I got here? I got through all this and all these absentee ballots.”

Freeman repeatedly made political statements in favor of Joe Biden on her Facebook page. On November 7, Freeman bragged about Biden’s mainstream media-declared victory with a photo of her working during the election that was used by local news.

Freeman’s daughter was seen in the local news footage that led to the identification of Freeman.

After the video featuring Freeman and her daughter was revealed by the Trump campaign during Thursday’s Georgia hearing, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, finally conceded that vote counting was not done legally or with proper supervision.

Trump campaign, prominent Republicans, and the governor.

Similarly, Gov. Brian Kemp, also a Republican, reaffirmed his call for signature verification.

However, Kemp stopped short of calling a special session of the Georgia legislature, which would allow the legislators to fully examine the evidence of voter fraud, and potentially overturn the 2020 presidential election results, and assign the state’s Electoral College votes to President Donald Trump.

Record cash pours into Georgia Senate races, with a large chunk from California
David Lauter | LA Times

With early voting well underway and both sides expecting extremely close races, record amounts of money continue to pour into Georgia's twin Senate runoff campaigns, including a large chunk of cash from donors in California, new Federal Election Commission filings show.

The two Democratic candidates, Jon Ossoff and the Rev. Raphael Warnock, shattered all-time fundraising records over the last two months. Their Republican opponents, Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, respectively, hold a financial edge, however, thanks to outside Republican groups that can raise massive sums mostly unconstrained by federal campaign laws.

Much of that outside money comes from donors whose identities remain undisclosed.

Warnock brought in just over $103 million in the two months from mid-October to mid-December, according to his filing. Ossoff raised even more — almost $107 million. Perdue raised $68 million and Loeffler $64 million.

All four candidates have raised much of their money out of state, with California the largest source.

All four surpassed the previous fundraising record for a Senate candidate — $57.9 million that Jaime Harrison, a Democrat, raised in the third quarter this year in his campaign to unseat Republican incumbent Sen. Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. Of course, Harrison lost, a reminder that more money provides no guarantee of victory.

That has not caused donors to waiver, and the cash has led to a flood of television advertising saturating Georgia's airwaves.

This week, alone, more than $87 million has been spent or booked in television, radio and digital ads in the state, according to AdImpact, a firm that tracks ad spending. That's more than most Senate campaigns spend in an entire year. All told, some $365 million already has been spent for advertising in the two races, with another $110 million already booked, AdImpact's figures show.

Control of the Senate rides on the outcome of the two races, and with it a large part of President-elect Joe Biden's agenda. Democrats won 48 Senate seats in November, including two independents who caucus with them. If they win the two Georgia seats, the Senate would be evenly divided, and Vice President Kamala Harris would be able to break the tie, giving Democrats control.

That prospect has driven the huge outpouring of contributions, including large sums to four political committees controlled by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). The four groups have spent or booked more than $132 million in advertising in support of the Republican candidates. That spending has given the Republicans an advantage in the ad wars.

While outside Democratic groups are spending less than their Republican counterparts, they have still raised considerable sums. Fair Fight, founded by Stacey Abrams, the former Democratic candidate for governor in Georgia, reported raising $22 million, with most of it being spent on voter turnout operations. Two groups controlled by Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer of New York have spent or booked roughly $30 million in advertising.

The volume of ads may have long passed the point of diminishing returns for the candidates, but the spending, especially the money from outside groups, has provided a windfall to television stations in Georgia — and Florida, Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina too. Stations in Gainesville and Tallahassee, Fla., Dothan, Ala., Chattanooga, Tenn., and Greenville, S.C., each of which reaches a corner of Georgia, have all seen significant advertising as the campaigns try to reach every possible voter.

Federal law requires stations to sell ad time to candidates at their lowest rate, but they can charge outside groups whatever the traffic will bear, which has meant hefty premiums, especially in the Atlanta market, which covers the majority of Georgia's voters.

All four Georgia candidates ended the two-month reporting period with plenty of cash on hand — ranging from $16 million for Perdue to $23 million for Warnock — guaranteeing a fusillade of spending in the final days before the election ends on Jan. 5.

The two Democrats each raised about half their money from small-dollar donations, less than $200 per person. The two Republicans got much more of their money from larger donors.

The sources of much of the outside spending remain unknown and will continue to be shrouded until long after the vote count. Because of the way campaign finance rules are written, most outside committees don't have to report their fundraising until the end of January, although they are required to report spending. Some of the outside groups have legal structures that allow them to keep donors secret forever.

Voter interest in the contest has continued to run high. As of Thursday night, 2,070,987 people had voted early, with large turnout on both sides. Democrats have been cheered by data showing that Black voters have made up a larger share of the vote so far than at equivalent points in the general election. A sharp drop-off in turnout among Black voters has hurt Democrats in the state's previous runoffs.

Polls in Georgia — one of the states in which pre-election surveys proved accurate in the presidential contest — have shown the Senate contests a dead heat.

Georgia Senate runoff: What are the latest polls and odds?
Oliver O'Connell
Tue, December 29, 2020, 12:28 PM MST

With just a week left until election day in the Georgia Senate runoff, polls are tight in the two races that will decide which party controls the upper chamber of Congress during the first years of the Biden administration.

As no candidate attained 50 per cent of the vote on 3 November, both races are being run again on 5 January.

Incumbent Republican Senator David Perdue is running for re-election against Democrat Jon Ossoff in a regularly scheduled election.

Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler, who was appointed to her seat by Governor Brian Kemp after Senator Johnny Isakson resigned, is facing off against Democrat Reverend Raphael Warnock in a special election.

At present the Senate is controlled by the Republican Party with 50 seats to the Democrats’ 48, so Democrats need to win both races.

While this would tie the parties, it is a tie that could be broken by Vice President-elect Kamala Harris who would cast a deciding vote on any legislation in her role as President of the Senate after 20 January’s inauguration.

Both races are incredibly close with FiveThirtyEight putting Mr Perdue at 48 per cent to Mr Ossoff’s 47.6 per cent, and Mr Warnock at 48.2 per cent to Ms Loeffler’s 47.7 per cent in its polling averages as of 29 December.

The RealClearPolitics polling average puts Mr Ossoff ahead on 49.3 per cent to Mr Perdue’s 48.5 per cent, and has Reverend Warnock ahead by 1.8 points on 49.8 per cent, to Ms Loeffler’s 48 per cent as of 29 December.

Such tight margins mean that turnout is going to be vital, and Georgians know it, with 2.34 million having already voted by 28 December — more than the total in any previous runoff election. There are still seven days of voting to go.

In the presidential election on 3 November, Joe Biden beat Donald Trump by 2,473,633 votes to 2,461,854, a margin of just under 12,000. It is the first time a Democrat has won Georgia since 1992.

There are worries within the Republican Party that the president’s constant unfounded talk of electoral fraud and rigged ballots may discourage some of his supporters from participating. Both GOP candidates and their surrogates are therefore working hard to get out the vote to counter this possibility.

Democrats meanwhile are hammering home the message to their supporters that the success of the incoming Biden presidency may hinge on being able to pass legislation quickly and cleanly through both chambers of Congress — making these Senate races vitally important.

While betting on elections is not allowed in the US (with a few exceptions), Draftkings Nation has translated wagers from overseas into moneyline odds — offered bets with a minus sign cost that much to win $100 and those with a plus sign pay that amount if someone wagers $100 and also refund the original stake.

Betfair currently has Perdue on -189 and Ossoff on +138; and Loeffler on -149 and Warnock on +110.

Ladbrokes has Perdue on -200 and Ossoff on +150; and Loeffler on -189 and Warnock on +138.

While these are big leads for the Republican candidates, turnout and enthusiasm still could favour the Democrats, and Georgia was one of the biggest surprises for pollsters and gamblers on election night.
