Witnesses said during a Georgia Senate hearing on election fraud today that fraud was rampant because ballots could be easily manipulated.

The Election Wizard live tweeted during the hearing, sharing what witnesses were saying during the hearing.

Witnesses during the hearing noted scanning machines were faulty and weren’t working, discussed votes being manipulated by clicking various options on the voting software and showed a video of ballot adjudication. 

“Witness explaining that on electronic ballots (QR code ballots), it's impossible to determine voter intent,” the news media tweeted. “The machine decides the intent, whereas, with paper ballots, a human can double-check the ballot.”

A witness said during the hearing that what happened on election night could never be duplicated and that officials re-ran 15,000 ballots five times and every time they got a different total. The witness noted that as far as she knew, the 15,000 ballots in Coffee County were never certified.

The witness also said that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger ordered the counties that had out-of-balance books to certify during the hand recount and that one county that was off by 2.3 percent was still ordered to certify the results by the state.

Another witness, a county election director, spoke at the hearing.

“Witness says the GA audit was a ‘top to bottom’ review,” The Election Wizard tweeted. “The SoS's numbers told the counties what their numbers should be. Witness says this is the opposite of what should occur in a legit audit.”

Another witness, Jovan Hutton, an IT expert, noted that some ballots in the state did not have bar codes on them and those that were missing bar codes were from mostly Democratic areas. 

Hutton also showed examples of how the voting machines were misaligned in selecting a voter's choice. He noted the misalignment was mostly in Republican areas.

Another witness also noted that 136,000 votes for President-elect Joe Biden simply appeared after poll watchers were dismissed from the State Farm Arena.
