Georgia ballots rejected by machines were later altered by election workers to count
[Just The News] day after the November election, as Donald Trump and other Republican candidates clung to evaporating leads in Georgia, vote counters in Atlanta were confronted by a paper ballot known only by its anonymizing number 5150-232-18.

A Dominion Voting machine had rejected the ballot on election night because the voter had filled in boxes for both Trump and his Democratic opponent Joe Biden, an error known as an "overvote." The machine determined neither candidate should get a tally, and the ballot was referred for human review.

The image of the ballot, obtained by Just the News, shows the voter messily scribbled a large blob in the box to select Trump as president while also putting a thinner check mark next to Biden's name.

At 6:10 p.m. ET on Nov. 4, 24 hours after the ballot was first scanned and rejected by Machine 5150, a panel of humans decided the vote should be awarded to Biden, with the notation "mark removed for Donald J. Trump." You can see that ballot here:

#1 .....a panel of humans decided the vote should be awarded to Biden

The same 'humans' who may have actually created the overvote? How very convenient.

#2  the voter messily scribbled a large blob in the box to select Trump as president while also putting a thinner check mark next to Biden's name

Shouldn't the larger blob get preference? Were these 'humans' psychiatrists from the APA? I think there needs to be a case in the Supreme Court over what said voter actually meant.

To be honest I can see 2 possible ways to look at this. But put with the same result.


I am assuming this was a MAILED in Ballot given from what I have seen in my GA counties???.

Where we use Electronic Voting machine that are either directly linked to the polling place unit. Or print out a copy you take to the polling place reader unit to be inserted and counted.

#1
I see the ballot clearly marked other DEMOCRATS.
The Trump mark looks like a mistake (STUPIDLY) scribbled out and JB then was voted for, along with other DEMOCRATS.

#2
Or engage additional brain matter.
The voter voted for Trump and no other candidates.
An unknown (D) pole worker attempted to change D.T. to J.P. and add additional (D) votes.


EITHER WAY
Seeing an Altered Ballot. I would have placed it in the REJECT PILE & invalid for counting.

#4 Here in India, you just show your registered voter ID (linked to your biometrics and citizen's ID) and walk up unmolested to a kiosk, where guarded by a company of paramilitary, you press a single button. You get only one press, mistake or no. If you're dumb enough that you can't locate the symbol of your party and press its button, you're better off disenfranchised.
