Election Fraud!!1! (Updated)

The Trump campaign has released a bunch of affidavits that prove the election was stolen:
Overnight the Trump campaign released 234 pages of what it says are affidavits from poll watchers who claim to have witnessed election fraud or other forms of alleged interference.
The substance, however, leaves a lot to be desired.
Reuters DC reporter Brad Heath posted several excerpts of the affidavits as examples, reporting that “it’s mostly allegations that they couldn’t get as close as they wanted to the counting, couldn’t re-enter the room after they left, etc. Pretty standard election stuff.”
There are a number of examples, including one that appears to have been digitally offered, but this is the one that stuck out for me: "Far left" lawyers/law students aside, the idea that military personnel would vote for a Democrat seems to be beyond the realm of the possible for this person -- after all, we've been told that soldiers ar conservative.

Read the whole post. It's fairly short, and highly entertaining.

Update:

And there's video!

President Donald Trump in a Twitter temper tantrum tweeted a video that immediately went viral. It appears to show two election workers in an unidentified though publi street location, collecting what are supposedly ballots and placing them into suitcases/carryalls.
Turns out it was all perfectly legal:
The video, it turn out, is real, but from November 4.

“L.A. County officials told Reuters that these ballots were collected on Nov. 4 but were deposited by voters on or before Nov. 3. They are therefore valid and will be processed and counted.”

“All vote by mail ballot drop boxes were closed and locked at 8 PM on Election Day. Ballots from all boxes throughout the County were picked up the following day,” Mike Sanchez, a spokesman for the L.A. County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, told Reuters.

Any port in a storm, so to speak.
