Again, pathetically grasping at straws.
the ballot is run through. If it does not scan, they put it in a pile that gets sorted to find out WHY it doesn't get counted.
The vast majority is because the person filled in the bubble too lightly. So in an effort to make their vote count rather than just rejecting it, the workers darken the circles under heavy scrutiny for fairness.
This is not a new process. This happens in all elections, every time. Why all of a sudden is this standard process a scandal?

Why do we keep seeing Republican poll watchers kicked out or forced to stand at such ludicrous distances away that they've had to resort to using binoculars? Why are we seeing them prevent people from looking in on them by taping poster board to the windows?
If all these workers are doing nothing wrong, and they're just following standard procedure, then there should be no attempts to hide their activities. They should be making every effort to be as transparent as possible.
My wife just sent this video of Detroit election workers cheering every time a @migop attorney is removed from the TCF Center, where absentee ballot counting is happening. She says they do this every time they eject a GOP poll watcher & that Dem watchers outnumber GOP 3:1. pic.twitter.com/Sx1aHCoChY
probably to keep them from... oh I don't know... INTERFERING? I have no idea and have no context other than hearing it from the poll workers themselves where they talk about priding themselves in being impartial and methodical despite all the yelling and protesting to "COUNT THE VOTE" or "STOP THE COUNT" all coming from the right, depending on whether Trump was behind or ahead.
But just like the other videos this is a 3 second clip of people cheering. is this supposed to be evidence the whole thing is rigged? My guess is they were cheering for kicking out an asshole that was being beligerent or refusing to wear a fucking mask.

No, but I also don't make assumptions based on a single video with no context. He could have been looking around for someone talking, or calling his name. He could have been responding to any number of things. He could be reacting to a bunch of trumptards screaming at him for all I know. I wasn't there so I can't presume to know the reason. There are countless videos going around where people are SAYING voter fraud but without knowing or being able to demonstrate what is actually happening in the video.
This, like EVERY OTHER "fraud" video lacks ANY context. The guy wheeling video equipment into a random building at night, people covering up the windows, bla bla bla bla. Include this with any kind of context to indicate WHY it was happening and then we can talk.
Now if you want to talk about actual facts, like GOP setting up fake ballot drop off boxes, the removal of all but one drop off box per county, gerrymandering, the president preemptively delegitimizing mail in ballots trying to instill doubt in the system,etc. then we can, but this conspiracy shit is childish and ridiculous.
I ask you, why have Republicans fully accepted the results for the House and the Senate without question but don't accept the results for President, which are all cast on the same ballots? Are they fake ballots or not?
And just fucking look around. The ENTIRE world is celebrating this fucker losing. It's like the end of Star Wars when the emperor and Death Star were destroyed. Fucking fireworks and parades all over the globe to the point you would think WWIII just ended. If the entire planet is this happy, then maybe...JUST MAYBE, you're on the wrong side.

See Trooper Trent's comment above - they are there for this reason (this is California - probably differs from State to State but not sure) - incredible room for interpretation here when I read this I was shocked (these are just the general standards - there's language like this for every type of voting tabulation device as well):
Section III: General Standards
The following general standards shall apply in the counting of all ballots and votes, regardless of the voting system used, for both the initial count and for any recount.
A ballot that is not marked as provided by law must be segregated and counted in the manner directed by the elections official. Any ballot that contains personal information as defined in section 14287, or that is torn, bent, or mutilated shall be segregated as directed by the elections official and a duplicate ballot shall be prepared pursuant to section 15210. "Personal information" includes: the signature of the voter, the initials, name or address of the voter, a voter identification number, a social security number, or a driver's license number. A ballot that contains marks or markings not related to an indication of the vote choice for a contest and that are not personal information shall be counted. Duplication is not required unless the ballot contains personal information, or the condition of the ballot or markings on the ballot interfere with the ability of the vote tabulation equipment to tally the ballot. (Elections Code sections 13204, 14287, 15154, and 15208.)
A vote for any candidate or ballot measure shall not be rejected solely because the voter failed to follow instructions for marking the ballot. If, for any reason, it is impossible to determine the choice of the voter for any candidate or ballot measure, the vote for that candidate or ballot measure shall be considered void. (Elections Code section 15154.)
A mark is considered valid when it is clear that it represents the voter's choice and is the technique consistently used by the voter to indicate his or her selections. Such marks may include, but are not limited to, properly filled-in voting position targets, checkmarks, X's, circles, completed arrows, or any other clear indication of the voter's choice, such as the word "yes" next to a candidate's name or a voting position target for a ballot measure.
Conversely, a mark crossed out by the voter, or the word "no" next to a candidate's name or a voting position target for a ballot measure shall not be considered to be a valid vote but will, instead, be deemed an indication that the voter did not choose to cast a vote for that candidate or measure.
In determining the validity of a partially filled-in voting position target, the consistency of a voter's marks on the entire ballot shall be taken into consideration. A "hesitation mark" such as a dot in the voting position target shall not be considered a valid mark unless it is demonstrated that the voter consistently marked his or her ballot in such a manner.
If a contest is marked with more choices than there are offices to be filled or measures that may prevail, the vote shall not be counted for that contest, but shall be counted in all other contests in which there is no overvote and the voter's choice can be clearly determined. (Elections Code section 15154.)
If a contest is marked with fewer choices than there are offices to be filled or measures that may prevail, the vote choice(s) for all otherwise properly marked candidates or measures shall be counted.
Write-in votes are counted pursuant to the provisions established in Elections Code sections 14420, 15342 and 15342.5.

Sure you can say what you want, doesn't mean it has any truth behind it. Half the country is crying fraud right now, as if it's impossible that Trump could possibly lose even though there's half a dozen undeniable reasons as to why he lost fair and square.
The only reason Trump won in the first place was because Hillary was so unpopular.
There's no fraud just people pissed at the last 4 years of insanity.

He has a history of that.
When he was not voted for being presidential candidate in some state he called fraud.
When he was up against clinton he called fraud before they even started counting.
Now he asks his voters to donate money for trial whe he actually needs most of it to pay for his campaign debt.

Here's a bunch of facts that your urine cotton candy hair god didn't mention. 1. Hillary was very unpopular, Biden is popular. 2. Trump's absolute terrible presidency (impeachment, locking kids up in cages, covid response, general inability to form sentences that mean... anything, building a stupid fucking wall that blew down etc). 3. 4 years have passed (a bunch of old republicans dead and 13-17 year olds can now vote). 4. Democratic motivation like nothing that has been seen before. You combine all that shit, it's honestly amazing he did as well as he did.
