Donald Trump, President of the United States ·
In Fulton County, Republican poll watchers were ejected, in some cases, physically from the room under the false pretense of a pipe burst.
Observers were not asked to leave. A state investigator who reviewed witnesses and security footage found they left on their own, and the leak was an overflowing urinal that didn't affect the evening count.
The Georgia Secretary of State's chief investigator declared under penalty of perjury that a review of witnesses and security footage found observers and media at State Farm Arena 'were not asked to leave' but left on their own when one group of workers finished and left. She also found that the reported leak was a urinal that overflowed that morning and did not affect the evening count (Watson declaration, Pearson v. Kemp, N.D. Ga., Dec. 6, 2020).
