What did Donald Trump claim about elections on 2 Jan 2021? "They weren’t in an official voter box, but they were in…"
Donald Trump, President of the United States ·
They weren’t in an official voter box, but they were in what looked to be suitcases or trunks, suitcases but they weren’t in voter boxes. The minimum number it could be because we watched it and they watched it certified in slow motion instant replay if you can believe it but slow motion and it was magnified many times over and the minimum it was 18,000 ballots, all for Biden.
There were no suitcases and no 18,000 ballots. The containers were standard ballot carriers, and about 8,900 ballots in total were scanned in that late-night window.
Georgia elections official Gabriel Sterling testified under oath that the containers in the State Farm Arena video were standard sealable ballot carriers and that about 8,900 ballots in total were scanned in that late-night window (House January 6th Select Committee, June 21, 2022). The Secretary of State's chief investigator declared under penalty of perjury that the full footage showed no mystery ballots brought in and hidden under tables (Watson declaration, Pearson v. Kemp, N.D. Ga., Dec. 6, 2020).
