Infographic ℹ️ What Happened in #Atlanta on #ElectionNight?
In recent days, the fog of incomplete and conflicting information provided by interested parties has begun to clear. (Thread👇)
It now appears that a state election monitor was absent for a part of the counting process.
It is also clear that GOP #PollWatchers were prevented from meaningfully observing much of the process, even though they were allowed in the room.
1. RULE CHANGE
On Aug. 10, the State Election Board approved a new rule allowing election officials to start opening and scanning #AbsenteeBallots 3 weeks before #ElectionDay.
The state is currently being sued over the rule.
2. WATER LEAK
On #ElectionDay, ballot-processing work at the State Farm Arena was delayed. It was later revealed that the source of the leak was an overflowing urinal.
“The emergency delayed officials from processing ballots between 5:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.,” the report says.
3. SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE
Security footage from the arena shows workers moving around furniture after 8:20am.
Only some parts of the footage were made publicly available. Attempts from various parties to obtain the footage have been unsuccessful.
