DeKalb County Affidavit

AFFIDAVIT OF MARK AMICK
COMES NOW MARK AMICK, and after being duly sworn makes the following
statement under oath.
1. My name is Mark Amick I am over the age of 21 years, and I am
under no legal disability which would prevent me from giving this declaration. If
called to testify, I would testify under oath to these facts.
2. I reside at 3103 Balley Forrest Drive, Milton, GA 30004.
3. I am credentialed to serve as a statewide poll watcher.
4. Around 11:30 a.m. on November 15, 2020, I arrived at the DeKalb
County Board of Elections to witness the audit, vote review, hand count and
recording of votes.
5. After watching some of the ballot counting at the tables, I decided to
stand behind the table where they were entering in the vote totals after each ballot
box had been completed
6. Earlier, I witnessed the Poll Managers and the Election Director, Mr.
Tillman, working with law enforcement to mark off a perimeter around the table to
keep the observers further away.
7. Upon standing at this distance behind the two workers I could not see
the computer entries as it was too small.

8. I noticed that I could read the sheets from the ballot boxes with the
votes per candidate.
9. I started logging the information from those sheets in my notes.

10. I thought that it might provide a cross reference of information for
an audit should that come to fruition of what was on the sheets and what was
actually entered.
11. After logging the votes for nine (9) of the boxes, I saw a pattern or
expectation of number of votes.
12. On the 10th box, I observed the total for Donald J. Trump to be 13
and the total for Joe Biden to be 10,707.
13. I turned to the lady next to me, Lonnie Vo, another GOP Poll Watcher
and stated loud enough for all to hear, "10,000 for Biden? That is not right."
14. The two (2) poll workers discussed it for a moment and one of them
called over a Poll Manager named Ranata (sp?).
15. Ranata took that paper to a table at the back of the polling location
where they stored the ballots. There were two other workers present at that
table.
16. I was standing approximately ten feet away.

17. I could hear the workers discussing and speculating as to what the
workers meant to write.

18. I heard one worker state they thought the comma was in the wrong
place, but that "it still did not come out right.".
19. I heard the workers discuss making the change. They began to
speak in a lower voice and I was not able to hear anything further.
20. I saw Ranata, with that paper in hand, was walking and looking all
around the floor for someone.
21. I followed Ranata at a distance.

22. I saw Ranata go to the back tables and hand the paper to the two
workers and had a brief discussion. She then left the tables and headed towards
the front of the room.
23. I followed Ranata at about fifteen feet behind.

24. Ranata then turned around and yelled at me with her hands out to
her side, "Stop following me! I don't have anything!"
25. I followed her up front, but added another five feet distance.
26. I saw Ranata speak with the main Poll manager, Erica.
27. I approached a person whom I understood to be the Election
Director for DeKalb, Mr. Tillman and introduced myself.
28. He was clearly agitated and asked, "What happened to the deal?"
29. He proceeded to state that there was only one person which he was
to deal with for questions and was not happy about me engaging him.
30. I apologized and let him know that I was not aware of any deal. I
stated that I didn't know any of those observers and that I am statewide poll
watcher and I wanted to inform him of what I believe to be a serious situation.
31. I discussed the issue with Mr. Tillman the need for a recount and he
left to speak with Renata. I saw them go to the back of the room with the tables
and the other two workers.
32. Upon his return, Mr. Tillman stated that they would recount the box.
33. Mr. Tillman told me that he agreed that the numbers were seemingly
incorrect.
34. Mr. Tillman stated to me that the weight of the box is not 10,000
ballots and that a new crew was coming in at 3:00 PM "or thereabouts".
35. I asked Mr. Tillman that I be allowed to track that box through the
process.
36. Mr. Tillman said yes.
37. I asked Mr. Tillman, "How will I know?"
38. Mr. Tillman said to me that he would tell me.

39. Mr. Tillman then pointed to the box at the back of the room on the
end of the table.
40. He stated that was the box and when the crew is ready, that they
would signal him, and he would get me to walk it over and witness the recounting.
41. The tone of our relationship changed to more collaborative for the
rest of the day.
42. At approximately 2:30 PM, I went outside to inform Robert Sinners

of the situation.
43. At about 3:00 PM, Mr. Tillman pulled me aside and sought out a
Democrat Poll Watcher - whom he had informed of the situation.
44. The two of us escorted the box to yellow table 1.

45. We verified that on the form signed and submitted by previous
counters that it stated the count totals as: Trump = 13, Biden = 10,707.
46. I asked Mr. Tillman what ballots these were.
47. He said that they were ballots from early voting.

48. I noted a sticker on the box which stated the following: Location
— Elmwood; Scanner 2; Box 2 and 1,105.
49. Once the count was completed, I noted the count totals were:
Trump = 13, Biden = 1,081. A difference of 9,626 less vote that had been
credited to Biden in the recount and submitted for tabulation
50. The recount total for the box was 1,103, two less than the box
stated.
51. I wanted to ensure that there was a process in place that they
would log this and/or track it later.

52. I spoke with Erica, inquiring as to the status of the original
form with the count.
53. Erica stated that she did not know, but I could speak with the
lady at the table who was entering in the information.
54. The lady at the table who was entering in the information, was
one of the two who were present initially.
55. I saw another worker retrieve the forms.
56. Upon his return, she laid the forms next to each other (the original
still having the blue tape stuck along the side) to compare and verify the counts
as stated. She stated that both forms would remain together with the other
forms for any possible audit.
57. Josh Rigsby and Gavin Start were present and verified both
forms at that table.
58. I was informed of two additional recounts of two other boxes
taking place.
59. Mr. Tillman and Erica stated to me that they did not know the
nature of the recount or why it was ordered.
60. Josh Rigsby and Gavin Stark stayed to track the final count
and compare them like I did with the aforementioned recount.

State of Georgia
County of Fulton
Appeared before me Mark Amick, this 16th day of November 2020 and after
being duly sworn, stated the forgoing statements are true and correct to the
best of his knowledge and belief.
