inside election security
with georgia election official gabriel sterling these boxes that rudy giuliani
and the president have described as suitcases are actually purpose-built ballot carriers
that are used because they can be sealed yes scott so and you see and they're out in plain sight so
it's not like anything was hidden from anybody and let's get to 57. and here comes the ballot
carriers that we're talking about with this man here yes and they're empty as you can see right
so these are the ballots that need to be scanned still that they're going to start stacking into
these carriers now this is the same room from a different camera yes what do you see in this
picture well here you have some of the here's some cutters running their their work the flattener's
over here getting the ballast repaired and then up to this corner this is the press and the observers
who are there from the different parties the democratic and republican observers
are right here yes and doing a great job of looking at their phones now it is almost 10
p.m election night some of these people have been working 12-14 hours yes and they've just been told
that they're going to wrap up for the night so what are they doing here this is where they're
packing up because they think they're going home they're packing up to seal them so that nobody can
you know mess with the ballots when no one's there they're securing the ballots correct with the idea
that they're going to come back tomorrow and count them yes sir but then what happened when
we found out at our office approximately 10 30 or so that they were knocking off for the night
the secretary was upset because we wanted people to work as long as they could so that we could
have the results out as fast as we could so our office called the director of fulton county
who subsequently calls the manager on site here and says y'all need to keep on working so they
keep on stacking in here and again that's three of the boxes that fit perfectly inside that box
she's got the lids in her hands there she's finally sliding the lids on she's putting the
lids on the ballot carriers she's doing her best to put the lids on she's just having a difficult
time with this but again it's still 1001 the the monitors and press are still in the room
so they're seeing all this occur she's putting the seal on right now which is these blue items
here so she's sealing the ballot carrier box so that no one can tamper with it correct those are
ballots that have been opened from their envelopes but have not yet been counted correct what she's
thinking in this moment is what she's been told by her supervisor is put those away we're going
to count them tomorrow yes and it's 1006 the monitors are still there so this is where you
see them slide this this box under the table why under the table get them out of the way they're
still walking around doing stuff they got cords they got boxes there's this stuff out of the way
and then you see other here boxes are the exact same kind of box they just want to get these out
of the way to know that these are the ones we got to scan later that we hadn't scanned yet
at this point the secretary of state's office your office has called
fulton county and said you guys can't go home you've got to keep counting
yes and so we're about to see what happens next correct now this is the aha moment
yes in rudy giuliani's version of video correct they're pulling those ballot carriers out that
we just saw them put under there correct about a little less than an hour earlier
with the press and observers in the room
and then you see yeah here they come and that one even hidden you can see that on the other
side of this table and they're all marked and sealed just the way they were when we saw them
go under the table correct so long story short they put these ballot carriers under the table
because they thought they were through for the day they were going to retrieve them the next
day to count them correct let me ask you this though when did the monitors leave most of the
fulton county staff started leave at 10 30 the president observers began to leave as well with
approximately four employees still scanning and 10 45 all remaining press observers left the room
at 10 45 yes so they're not in here right now correct but they were in there to see those
boxes go under the table correct and the other thing we we know about this is because we had
a state election board monitor in the room who had been there earlier in the day he noted how
many ballots had been scanned on these scanners and the entire time from 8 30 to 12 45 only 9
800 or so ballots were scanned altogether this is normal ballot scanning processing they had this
whole video they know what happened here they intentionally misleading people and
that's what's so frustrating it's one thing to think you have suspicions but to intentionally
mislead people using falsified evidence by giving them only part of it it's infuriating
