"The same person that stayed behind, the person that cleared the place out under the pretense that we are going to stop counting is the person who put the table there at 8:22 in the morning. I saw four suitcases come out from underneath the table," Attorney Jacki Pick said.

How did these four people know they would be together in the same facility and manage to convince others to leave them alone? Did they even know one another? Lots of people to gather and coordinate for this conspiracy.

What conspiracy! Earlier video shows workers bringing the table into the room at 8:22 a.m., and not placing any "suitcases" underneath the table. At 10 PM, in a room full of people, including official monitors and the media, the video shows employees, who had been advised the facility was closing for the night, placing uncounted ballots into boxes, sealing them up and storing them in a safe place under the table. "No magically appearing ballots," Gabriel Sterling with the Secretary of State's office said. "These were ballots that were processed in front of the monitors, processed in front of the monitors and placed there in front of the monitors."

Illogic of Implying Abundance of Illegal Voters
The Trump contingent cited numbers of dead and other illegal voters. Although, by a variety of means, real names of dead and other people can be obtained, could knowledge that any of these "illegal voters" actually voted be obtained during the time that the illegal voting charges were made?

Those who prove they have a right to know can obtain voting lists from the County Electoral Commissions. For whom the voter cast the vote is not available, and it is illogical to assume the State Electoral Commission would approve any list for circulation before validating the election on November 20. Are requests for voter list answered immediately, especially during this epidemic and holiday time? Aren't there checks on credentials of the requesting party? Is it logical that those claiming illegal voters could have received official voting lists before January 2021?

Well, seems in cases they did not need voting lists; they just originated erroneous stories, which accused innocent people of election fraud. One example of uncovering prevarication is highlighted in testimony directed to Matt Braynard, a onetime Trump campaign operative, who produced analyses of the 2020 vote in swing states that claim massive amounts of illegal votes were cast. Georgia rebuts Trump's voter fraud claims in court, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, David Wickert, Dec 18, 2020.

At a recent legislative hearing, Rep. Bee Nguyen, D-Atlanta, quizzed Braynard about his conclusions. Nguyen said she found constituents and people she knew on his list of out-of-state voters. She checked property records and, in some cases, visited the voters to confirm they lived in Georgia.

"Many of the names listed on your list are erroneous," she told Braynard. "You allege these voters have committed a felony. There have been no attempts to contact them to verify."

Braynard backpedaled and thanked Nguyen for pointing out the apparent errors.

Illogical Actions
Election fraud is possible, but not logical on a scale that could change the 2020 presidential election. Cited schemes to overturn the election were illogical. Inability to apply logic to rebut the schemes and convince entirety of the electorate of the validity of the election defied logic. Those who gained a sense of power with their idol, Donald Trump, as POTUS, could not accept a return to earlier conditions. Illogical thoughts escalated into irrational beliefs of criminal activity - the election had been stolen. What do those do who feel a crime has been committed against them and that lawful authorities have conspired to permit the criminal activity? They did it; took the law in their own hands - their illogical thinking led to their illogical actions, which is the usual route of careless thinking. Nothing new or revelatory. Illogical thinking guides many domestic and foreign policy decisions - revelations for another discussion?
