Witnesses of the Georgia election recount signed sworn testimonies this week saying they saw votes for President Donald Trump counted as votes for Democrat candidate Joe Biden.
At least nine witnesses signed affidavits saying they saw multiple batches of mail-in ballots, many of which were suspiciously uncreased and uniformly filled out, counted only for Biden.
In one case, an entire batch of 500 ballots were all counted for Biden, according to the Epoch Times.
The witnesses said it appeared as though the ballots had been printed by a machine, since they had not been folded to fit in an envelope, and because the markings were pristinely colored inside the voting bubble.
Mail-in ballots typically show signs of handling, according to Susan Voyles, a poll manager with 20 years of experience handling ballots, who submitted an affidavit on behalf of the Trump campaign after counting votes in Fulton County.
But many of the ballot batches she oversaw had no sign of wear, she said.
“It was pristine. There was a difference in the texture of the paper—it was if they were intended for absentee use, but had not been used for that purpose,” Voyles testified. “There were no markings on the ballots to show where they had come from, or where they had been processed.
“I observed that the markings for the candidates on these ballots were unusually uniform, perhaps even with a ballot marking device,” Voyles continued. “By my estimate in observing these ballots, approximately 98% constituted votes for Joe Biden.”
Carlos Silva, a registered Democrat, described a similar experience in DeKalb County.
“I noticed they all had a perfect black bubble and all were Biden select,” Silva wrote in a sworn affidavit. “I heard them go through the stack and call out Biden’s name over 500 times in a row.”
Robin Hall, an observer in Fulton County, noticed the same pattern.
“The ballots appeared to be perfectly filled out as though they were pre-printed with the presidential candidate selected. They did not look like a person filled this out at home,” Hall wrote.
Even military and overseas ballots were noticeably suspect, according to witness Debraa Fisher. Some of the watermarks on these ballots had been printed in solid gray, which she was told was “due to the use of different printers.”
“I noticed that almost all of the ballots I reviewed were for Biden. Many batches went 100% for Biden,” Fisher testified. “I believe the military ballots are highly suspicious of fraud.”
In at least three cases, witnesses said they watched election officials count Trump votes as Biden votes. One of the three witnesses said she recorded the activity on video. And another witness, Nicholas Zeher, said when he confronted election officials about the mix-up, “it was met with extreme hostility.”
“Based on my observations, I believe that additional absentee ballots were cast for Donald Trump but counted for Joe Biden. I further believe that there was widespread fraud favoring Joe Biden,” Zeher wrote.
Similarly, Consetta Johnson testified that she saw Trump ballots being placed into the Biden tray while she was monitoring the recount in Cobb County.
The Trump campaign filed each of these affidavits in a federal court on Nov. 17 in an attempt to stop Georgia from certifying its election results. The chairman of the Georgia Republican Party argued that this is the right plan of action given the many errors that occurred during Georgia’s recount. For example, a Republican monitor found a significant error in DeKalb County that would have given Biden an additional 9,626 votes.
One of our monitors discovered a 9,626 vote error in the DeKalb County hand count. One batch was labeled 10,707 for Biden and 13 for Trump – an improbable margin even by DeKalb standards. The actual count for the batch was 1,081 for Biden and 13 for Trump.

Trump said he plans to continue disputing the results of the election and called on Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp to open an investigation.
The Georgia recount is a joke and is being done UNDER PROTEST. Even though thousands of fraudulent votes have been found, the real number is in matching signatures. Governor must open up the unconstitutional Consent Decree and call in the Legislature!
