GEORGIA!🚨 Attorney Don Samuel argues a motion to dismiss filed Aug 12 in this civil case on behalf of the defendants. The judge has raised arguments back to him about potential counterfeit ballots, malfeasance, & criminal conduct diluting votes. @RealAmVoice pic.twitter.com/imQ3VTUTQI

Update 9:50: Judge Amero is asking the Favorito team what the damages are to their clients. The attorneys respond that their clients were injured when their vote was made null and void by election fraud. The attorneys suggest to the court that they have the ability to correct the previous fraud.
Update 10:00: Judge Amero asks the state’s attorneys, ‘How do you know there has been a delusion of the vote unless you look at the ballots?’ He then asks the state, “What has been done? You said you did something but what have you done to inspect the ballots?”
GEORGIA!🚨 Chief Judge Brian Amero asks all parties whether the State Election Board or Georgia Bureau of Investigation has investigated whether counterfeit ballots have diluted legal votes. No one knew.
“I would love to hear from them” Amero said. @RealAmVoice pic.twitter.com/Uy5ULm8a6e

CD Media is also following the hearing this morning.
Update 10:15: After 5 minute break Judge Amero allows Charlene McGowan who is representing the Secretary of State to talk. Judge Amero is asking the State Board of Elections to submit an amicus brief. He is giving them more time. He is staying the litigation until the state submits more information. Amero wants to invite State Board of Elections to submit amicus brief, and GBI, 10 or 20 days
Update 10:20: The county is ecstatic. “We are happy.”
Update 10:22: County asks for 20 days delay to put together information. Amero agrees to the request.
Update 10:28: Amero gives the Favorito team 20 days to explain how they will cover the costs for the investigation from today going forward. The sheriff will provide them an estimate of the costs.
Update 10:35: Charlene McGowan who represents the state just claimed the Secretary of State has an open investigation on the 2020 election. This is news to us. She is arguing that the investigation is private and ongoing. Wow.
