Don't be #in stupid. It doesn't say you can lie and pretend to stop counting to get rid of observers either, now does it? I swear to god, no wonder every revolution it's always the lawyers they line up and shot first.

6 pages in to this thread and it is the same response from those Libs who support Biden.
If you want to give them the benefit of the doubt, you can call it 'willful ignorance.' Or....as someone else mentioned...perhaps these are the positions of enemy combatants. This moves beyond just political differences. These people are trying to STEAL our election for the purposes of deconstructing everything that makes America who and what she is. They want to tear down the Constitution. They want to pack the court. They want to change America beyond all recognition....
It does not matter WHAT evidence is shown to these people because THIS is what they want. It is what they paid for with Dominion and buying out the media. There is NO RATIONALIZATION with these people.
So at this point, why continue trying? Maybe that is a cynical point of view, but I'm sick of the Bull$@#%. I'm sick of the gaslighting. And I will no longer be diplomatic about it. We have moved beyond that point.

So what is your dumbass theory then? People that decided to donate their time to help ensure a fair election, all just decided to go home for no reason at the same time? I don't even know why I am bothering with you.

The spirit of the law is obvious. Unless you are looking to try and find loopholes to cheat that is. It's to make sure that both parties can see that it was not a sham.
I can think of no other plausible reason that these people donating their own free time, would all just up and leave like that, unless they thought their services were no longer needed. Because they were stopping the counting for the night. Can you think of any?

First off, no need for us to get personal. I've done my part to escalate things too, but I'm really not trying troll you or anyone else, and it can get frustrating on both sides.
Second, all I am saying and all I have been saying is that if this evidence is what it is claimed Rudy should put it in front of a judge an explain that. We a see a random video and are told to trust that it shows fraud and malfeasance. Rudy should take it to court if it is what he says it is. There, the other side will be able to put forth their version of events too, and a judge will be able to weigh counter evidence and decide whether evidence is reliable or not. From my experience, there is no reason not to have already done this unless the evidence isn't what is being claimed. I don't see how this is anything but a natural, rational theory.

There is no election fraud. Barr said so.

It’s been 10 years since I logged on. I have been a long time
Lurker and ever since this disputed election I have thoroughly enjoyed everyone’s posts. I did some digging into the GA State election law per your request regarding if the tabulation of the ballots have to be shut down if poll watchers leave. The law states that the tabulation has to be done in public. Now a locked room doesn’t seem public to me. Here is the link:
rules.sos.state.ga.us...
“The tabulation and consolidation shall be performed in public. However, the election superintendent may make reasonable rules and regulations for conduct at the tabulating center for the security of the results and the returns and to avoid interference with the tabulating center personnel.“

Could you point me to the OCGA citation for "ballots need to be secured if there were no observers present"?
I'd like to research that question further, if you have time.
Lol it's rather long but think parts below apply, it is however from 2014 I believe it's been jacked up even more AFTER THE 2018 Gubernatorial race Kemp VS Abrams

2014 Georgia Code
Title 21 - ELECTIONS
Chapter 2 - ELECTIONS AND PRIMARIES GENERALLY
Article 10 - ABSENTEE VOTING
§ 21-2-386 - Safekeeping, certification, and validation of absentee ballots; rejection of ballot; delivery of ballots to manager; duties of managers; precinct returns; notification of challenged elector
Universal Citation: GA Code § 21-2-386 (2014)
(a) (1) (A) The board of registrars or absentee ballot clerk shall keep safely, unopened, and stored in a manner that will prevent tampering and unauthorized access all official absentee ballots received from absentee electors prior to the closing of the polls on the day of the primary or election except as otherwise provided in this subsection.
And her is the pertinent information I believe
(3) A county election superintendent may, in his or her discretion, after 7:00 A.M. on the day of the primary, election, or runoff open the inner envelopes in accordance with the procedures prescribed in this subsection and begin tabulating the absentee ballots. If the county election superintendent chooses to open the inner envelopes and begin tabulating such ballots prior to the close of the polls on the day of the primary, election, or runoff, the superintendent shall notify in writing, at least seven days prior to the primary, election, or runoff, the Secretary of State of the superintendent's intent to begin the absentee ballot tabulation prior to the close of the polls. The county executive committee or, if there is no organized county executive committee,the state executive committee of each political party and political body having candidates whose names appear on the ballot for such election in such county shall have the right to designate two persons and each independent and nonpartisan candidate whose name appears on the ballot for such election in such county shall have the right to designate one person to act as monitors for such process. In the event that the only issue to be voted upon in an election is a referendum question, the superintendent shall also notify in writing the chief judge of the superior court of the county who shall appoint two electors of the county to monitor such process.
I don't know whether there are other requirements of GA law, but the provision you quote above in red does not require observers. It says that both parties can appoint observers. It does not say that counting must stop if observers are not present.
Giuliani and his team presented what they say is new evidence of security camera video from State Farm Arena. They say it shows Fulton County workers illegally counting ballots after GOP observers left the building.
But the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office said it already investigated these claims and found nothing. They said they had their own observers there the whole time who saw nothing.

A star witness for the Trump campaign was unable to back up claims that fraudulent ballots were "injected" into the vote count in Georgia when questioned during a hearing on Thursday.
Retired Army Col. Phil Waldron, who was called to testify at the Georgia state Senate hearing by President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, could not confirm allegations that a video showing bags being "pulled from a table" by election workers contained fraudulent ballots when questioned by Democratic Senator Jen Jordan.
"Are you trying to say that, in the video, what you saw were ballots that were somehow not lawful, that weren't real, that weren't actually cast by registered voters in the state of Georgia?" Jordan asked Waldron during the hearing.
"We do have affidavits of people who trucked in ballots from out of state into other states," Waldron replied.
Jordan then asked Waldron to clarify if he was claiming that truckloads of ballots had been moved into Georgia.
"Not into Georgia," Waldron admitted
