A video shared on Facebook allegedly shows a Dominion Voting Systems employee manipulating voting data in Georgia’s Gwinnett County.
Verdict: False
State and county officials in Georgia said the video shows a contractor using a USB drive to transfer a report from an Election Management Server to a county computer to read information. Dominion Voting Systems has said that it is “not physically possible” to manipulate votes through a USB drive.
Fact Check:
In the video, a man moves from working on a desktop computer to a laptop, clicks different pages on the screen and removes what looks like a USB drive from the device before leaving the room. It’s unclear what is visible on the laptop’s screen because it is blurry and far away in the video.
Some social media users shared the video along with claims that it shows an employee from the election technology firm Dominion Voting Systems manipulating voting data in Gwinnett County. The caption to one such Facebook post reads, “Watch a Dominion Representative at Gwinnett County Election Central, responsible for tabulating ballots and certifying results, download data to a USB from the Election Management Server, plug it into a laptop, manipulate the data, then palm the USB.”
State and county officials said that description is inaccurate. Gabriel Sterling, Georgia’s voting systems implementation manager, said in a Dec. 1 press conference that the man was “transferring a report on batches from an [Election Management Server] to a county computer so he could read it,” according to video of the event. He also said that the contractor has received death threats, GPB reported.

Kay Stimson, Dominion Voting Systems’ Vice President of Government Affairs, referred Check Your Fact to Sterling’s comments at the press conference. Michael Steel, a spokesperson for Dominion Voting Systems, told Fox News in a Nov. 22 interview that it was “physically impossible” to switch votes on one of the firm’s machines and that it was “not physically possible” for a poll worker to use a USB to add votes for a candidate.
“The tabulator has no unlocked thumb drive access, no unlocked USB ports,” Steel said. He then added that the “machines are what we call air-gapped, they are not connected to the internet.” (RELATED: Did Georgia’s DeKalb County Reject 40,000 Mail-In Ballots?)

CDC urges Americans not to travel for Christmas amid fears that holiday gatherings could worsen pandemic https://t.co/eAxPpkyVN6 pic.twitter.com/Pbh48OzRCO — The Hill (@thehill) December 2, 2020
The CDC’s guidance discourages travel to avoid the coronavirus, but recommends testing should someone choose to travel, according to the organization’s website. The CDC encouraged people to weigh “getting tested” within certain days before and after traveling. (RELATED: CDC To Shorten COVID-19 Quarantine Period From 2 Weeks To Ten Days)
Dr. Cindy Friedman, chief of the Travelers’ Health Branch at the CDC, said they have guidance for families and friends weighing whether to travel during the pandemic, according to the transcript.
“I think it’s a good thing that people have options to prevent infection and they can take time now before the Christmas holidays. We have several weeks to really think about the safest option for them and their family, which we think is to postpone travel. And then we’ve outlined all the other measures that they can take if they do have to travel,” Friedman said at the briefing.
Despite CDC guidance urging Americans to avoid traveling during Thanksgiving, a TSA spokesperson said over 1.17 million travelers on Sunday went through airport security checkpoints, the most travelers in a single day since the mid-March.

I finally decided to start “The Undoing,” and it’s a captivating show.
When I first heard about the show from HBO, I was slightly interested, but never pulled the trigger on watching the shows as they aired. (REVIEW: ‘Westworld’ Season 3 Ends With The Possible Deaths Of Multiple Characters)
Then, “The Undoing” set the internet on fire and a ton of people I know were all watching. Had I made a huge mistake by passing?
I decided to find out and I cruised through the first episode.
The plot revolves around the murder of a woman named Elena, who is loosely associated with Nicole Kidman’s character Grace. The woman, who had one point completely exposed herself to Grace in a locker room, is viciously butchered to death.
That’s where the mystery kicks off, and things only get stranger as it seems that Grace’s husband Jonathan Sachs might be engaging in some extramarital affairs.
That’s more or less where we’re at after the first episode of the mystery series.
Obviously, there’s a lot more meat to dive into down the stretch, but I’m certainly interested. I love a great mystery, and it looks like that’s what we have here.
Without knowing what happened, I’d say things are certainly being set up in a fashion to make us believe Grace or Jonathan is responsible for Elena’s death.
Again, that’s just me popping off with a theory, and I honestly don’t have a clue past that.
What I do know is that I’m hooked, and I’m definitely going to finish the series. Hopefully, it lives up to all the hype because people online are making it out to be the greatest mystery ever! We’ll see. Make sure to check back for my full review once it’s done.
