The 2020 Election Lies You May Have Heard
Poll Worker Changing Ballots
There was a video that got a million or so views, reportedly from the Delaware County counting area showing a poll worker as filling out ballots. The link for this is here. I would have liked to embed the video, but it is a Twitter feed, and I haven't figured out how to using Google Blogger. Which can do YouTube, but not Twitter natively.
The worker was not fraudulently filling out ballots, but transcribing ballots damaged by the machine extractor onto clean ballots. As recommended by the machines manufacturer. The image in the above link is zoomed in to make it appear as if this was a unsupervised task, and, of course, nefarious.
But this video was deliberately cropped. Here is what the video should have looked like,
There are two observers watching the whole process. The video is cropped to look like a camera being held in vertical orientation, but in truth, it was a wide screen shot.
So someone took the time and effort to change the video to deliberately misrepresent what was happening. Then created a lie using it as evidence.
This video was debunked here on Nov 6, but still a million people saw it.
Besides, as the vilest Writer has his Readers, so the greatest Liar has his Believers; and it often happens, that if a Lie be believ’d only for an Hour, it has done its Work, and there is no farther occasion for it. Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it; so that when Men come to be undeceiv’d, it is too late; the Jest is over, and the Tale has had its Effect…
