And at least 100% of them will vote.

If I remember correctly certified overseas ballots, not your typical mail-in, has always had a 3-day window in many places. That's how I've voted many many times myself. So nothing new IF I'm reading this correctly (that they must be truly sent from outside our borders).

I always wondered why the local embassy or consulate didn't just count them and report the results. A) They are equipped and B) it is US soil as long as that flag flys.

And the numbers here are very low. IF they numbers are high, something is indeed fricky.

I wish I had faith in the system. I just see this as massive opportunity for fraud.

I raised this issue earlier. Some people responded that they voted in Texas and Louisiana while living abroad. Those people said the system seemed secure. Then again, TX and LA aren't swing states.

I remember in the Bush Gore controversy Republicans were irate that overseas military ballots were not going to be counted because they were late.

This whole video is to set up how foolproff these fake ballots will be. Total joke.

I find it hard to believe that 300K Georgian registered voters live overseas.

Unbelievable. Tuesday is the not the deadline?
Tuesday is the deadline for postmark, I don't think this is new.

What's new is how many ballots are overseas, which is staggering

"At least"?

People 160 years ago knew the date of this election. It's spelled out in the Constitution

3.6% of the Georgia voters live overseas?

That would also make Georgians roughly 3.6% of all Americans living overseas, even though Georgia is only 3% of the total US population.

I have a really hard time believing that more than a quarter-million Georgians live overseas (unless they are including the former Soviet Republic known as Georgia/Gruzia).

How can other places bigger than GA have election results by 10 pm?



Because overseas ballots generally don't come in in enough numbers to actually make a difference. Most all states accept overseas ballots that come in for a few days after the election, don't they?

They are immaterial to the outcome of the election, in most cases.

I posted this before and got no response....

This article asserts that overseas ballots WON Georgia and Arizona for Biden. I can't find any verification. Anyone know how to find the numbers?

The article contrasts an organized effort by Democrats to turn out the overseas vote versus a non-existent effort by Republicans. Seems to be a problem.

"We know that in 2020, the overseas votes delivered the election win for President Biden in Georgia and in Arizona, and without that, the election would not have potentially gone the way it did. So we were the margin of victory," Kristin Wolfe [ chair of the Democrats Abroad U.K.] told CBS News at the group's voting center in London on Super Tuesday.

Texas allows overseas ballots to be received after Election Day (five if you use the Application for Ballot by Mail, six if you use the Federal postcard method).


So does Florida. 10 days after there I think. Probably most states allow receipt of overseas ballots after election day.
