I remember when that recount was being done. It was clear that when the batches were being run through the tabulators, the tabulators were only counting the number of ballots, not the actual votes. But whatever was written on that batch's tally sheet was relied upon as the correct results.
Not sure if this is related as the memory is fuzzy--- but I could swear at this recount they had Republican observers during the recount that caught the counters tallying votes for Biden when the ballot clearly showed the vote was for Trump.
I remember that as well.
At first, I was hopeful when they started a limited random audit in Fulton County and then halted the thing after an hour and ordered the recount. The implication was that they found a large enough error rate to alarm them to order the recount.
But then the way they conducted the recount (Rick Barron announcing that 109,000 out of 113,000 ballots were adjudicated) from the top down with Ratfricker controlling the final numbers, the reliance on tally sheets, not using the tabulators to count votes instead of just the # of ballots per batch.
It was the way they used the tabulators that had me SMDH. Run a batch, print the tape, then hand count to verify the numbers being reported by the tabulator, no? But Ratfricker knew he couldn't do that. The tabulators were set up in such a way to inaccurately report the vote totals.
The other thing that is amazing to me is how much Favorito's team was able to discern with ballot images at 200 dpi resolution.
