Here's a person who testified that everyone was effectively told to leave. Affidavit:

The thing that gets me about the idea of trying to come to the truth of the matter with some procedure that refuses the testimony of folks working at the voting facilities, is that such people would seem to generally be the most truthful.
Imagine you are a third party. There is an alleged crime. We know nothing. Nothing about who did it, how they did it, etc. Allegedly, there are
hundreds of people who claim to have first-hand knowledge of the crime.
You are asked to determine whether or not there is a crime. First, you drum up some method for doing so and you come up with rules of procedure.
Rule #1:
Absolutely DO NOT look at a shred of alleged proof by folks claiming they saw the crime firsthand.
I need to add one more thing. One of the persons who testified was caricatured on Saturday Night Live. I saw her actual testimony. She appeared very qualified. I believe she was professionally employed in the IT field. The content of her testimony was compelling. She is a blonde woman, likely in her 30's, that testified in the Michigan hearing.
She also came off as a complete jerk. In all the testimonies I saw, she was like this lone outlier. No one else was remotely close to her in terms of her behavior.
I get that SNL would not likely use some unexciting witness. I mean...that wouldn't work for a comedy skit. But, I am sure it was more than that. Make them all look like looney tunes. And everyone can laugh. What a bunch of whack-job morons!
Multi-billion dollar companies such as CNN, information sources with an obvious political bent, politicians - I would not consider such to necessarily be high integrity sources.
But, regular Americans who worked in the voting facility.
These are the folks to essentially completely censor? Really?
