Looking for some quick facts to battle claims of voter fraud that have (unfortunately) come from members of the party I've dedicated my adult life to?
Hopefully this thread can be helpful.

Firstly, I watched Gabriel Sterling's press conference on the Georgia election and wanted to clip and share it with all of you who want to know how to respond to some of the crazy accusations regarding the election in Georgia. (Videos courtesy @USATODAY) #Fraud #Election
Claim: "What happened at #Statefarm with the 'water main' break? Did they pull ballots out from under the table? Were ballots scanned more than once?"

(Part 3 of the above video - this also covers the hand recount a bit and how any sort of duplicative scanning would've been weeded out.)

There is another 10 minutes of this video you can watch at this link with more answers, but this covers most of it already. Glad to see @GaSecofState and his team being up-front, honest, and transparent during this #fraud #election
Anyways, let's move on to some court decisions, shall we? For the sake of clarity, I am also going to state who appointed each judge so we can see how clear this has been across the political spectrum.
“Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy,” Judge Stephanos Bibas wrote on behalf of a unanimous U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals panel. “Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.”
*Bibas is a Trump appointee. The other two judges that signed onto the decision are Bush appointees.

“To halt the certification at literally the 11th hour would breed confusion and disenfranchisement that I find have no basis in fact and law,” U.S. District Judge Steven Grimberg in Atlanta wrote on Nov. 19.
*Grimberg is a Trump appointee.

“While Plaintiffs may not need to prove actual voter fraud, they must at least prove that such fraud is ‘certainly impending.’ They haven’t met that burden. At most, they have pieced together a sequence of uncertain assumptions,” wrote Ranjan (US District Court Judge)
*Ranjan was appointed by Trump.

“In many respects, this case requires the Court to separate fact from fiction. Central to some of the Plaintiffs’ claims is the contention that the upcoming election, both nationally and in Montana, will fall prey to widespread...
...voter fraud. The evidence suggests, however, that this allegation, specifically in Montana, is a fiction.”

“Plaintiffs offer no instances of voter fraud resulting from ballots cast after Election Day, or any reason to suspect that a fraudulent ballot or a ballot cast after Election Day is more likely to lack a postmark.”

Not only have plaintiffs failed to allege a substantial risk of voter fraud, the State of Nevada has its own mechanisms for deterring and prosecuting voter fraud,” Mahan wrote. “Here, plaintiffs do not allege that those mechanisms would fail and that they would need to...
...divert resources accordingly.”

Judge Brann: lawsuit was marred by “strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations…unsupported by evidence...In the United States of America, this cannot justify the...
...disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state."
*Brann was appointed by Obama, but is a Republican who was active in the Federalist Society and the NRA
