"Took long enough but the light finally went on"
I made that comment re folded ballots to you the first time i saw you mention them. Since then i have not been able to find any evidence that what you say about folded ballots is true.

The claim: A preliminary audit in Georgia found 30,000 'fake ballots'
Another review of ballots in Georgia's most populous county has inspired a rash of misinformation about the results of the 2020 presidential election.
On May 21, a Georgia judge agreed to unseal more than 145,000 absentee ballots in a case that alleges Fulton County, home of Atlanta, mishandled ballots. The review is one of a slew of efforts to question election results in states like Arizona and New Hampshire.
None of those efforts will change the outcome of the 2020 election, but an image in a May 27 Facebook post says the Georgia review has already uncovered fraud.
"Preliminary audit finds 30,000 fake ballots that are on the wrong paper, have no folds and have been filled out by machine," says text in the image, which has more than 1,000 shares.
Since President Joe Biden beat incumbent Donald Trump in Georgia by more than 12,000 votes, the state has been a hot spot for misinformation about election fraud. But three separate audits found no evidence of wrongdoing affecting the state's election results — and the review mentioned in the post hasn't even started yet.
