They can absolutely generate that many votes out of that box of ballots by running them through twice as some affidavits claim.
The much more compelling argument I’ve seen is that these ballots were not sitting there in secret, they were NOT hidden, everyone commonly knew they were there, and that these people were asked by officials to stay longer and count more ballots overnight. I have absolutely no fucking idea if that’s true, and that sounds kind of far-fetched actually, but at least that would be a better explanation.
I saw a few people bring that up on various message forums and social media and I didn’t see any Republicans with much of an answer to it.
That’s the only reason it seems so compelling to me, only because no one has been able to deny that this explanation is true. No one has been able to prove these ballots were hidden, because we only have the one camera angle, and there were people there who claim that these people were asked to stay and continue counting into the night. Again, I haven’t seen any Republicans counter that with any proof.
I mean it sure looks open and shut to me that these people pulled these ballots out of hiding and counted them, and it seems strange they would be asked by officials to stay while sending everyone else home. But that’s not proof. And again, if I could see a republican come up with a counter, that would be helpful.
