Destroying the absurd "fact checks" on cell phone geolocation used in '2000 Mules'

Please share as this is content you may not find elsewhere. You can see just how big a lie the "fact checks" and Barr's comments are. Add this to the list of known lies from the left and from RINOs.

You may have heard the term “triangulation” before in context of finding something or someone. The idea being you need reception information from at least 3 different points, that are not on one line, to pin down the location of something. Here’s one of the “fact checks” claiming that cell phone data is not accurate enough to determine if people were stopping at ballot drop boxes. It’s written by a guy named Ed Payne.

The text at the (well known to be bogus) ‘Lead Stories’ site refers to another site that states that if the phone locks onto at least 3 satellites, accuracy is good to within 10 meters, which is about 33 feet. Now in many drop box locations, especially given visit time, dwell time, and the distance to anything else that it would be reasonable to expect someone to make multiple trips per day, 33 feet could be plenty enough to establish that they are going to a drop box multiple times. The “fact check” then mentions that “With fewer satellites, the information is less accurate.” Indeed, if we don’t have at least 3, by definition we can’t “triangulate”.

So you might be wondering just how many satellites your phone typically locks onto when you’re outdoors. The impression given by Lead Bullshit Stories is that it’s common for your phone to drop down to two or even one satellite. Well a handy dandy thing about the Speedometer app I use on bike rides is that in the detail view it shows you how many satellites you’re connected to, as well as how many are available. You wanna take a guess how many it typically connects to? Think it’s 2 or 3? Think maybe 4 is good and sometimes you get 5 or 6 when you’re lucky? Is that not the impression given by Lead Bullshit Stories “fact checker” Ed Payne??

Are you sitting down?? Would you believe that if I only connect to 12 satellites at any point in time on a bike ride in my area, over 35 to 40 miles of riding, that’s horrible?? Would you believe that 16 satellites or so is a typical MINIMUM?? How does connecting to 25 satellites at certain points sound??!! Do you suppose that maybe, just maybe, that just 10 satellites offers way better accuracy than 3 satellites??

Would you believe that sitting in my office inside my house, in a stucco house with the wire mesh for the stucco covering all the exterior walls, I can connect to 24 satellites??!! Look about 3/4 of the way down this picture for the line that says “Satellites = 24/45”.

I’ve cropped off the actual latitude and longitude numbers near the bottom of the app’s screen, and the icons on the top for phone status, but otherwise this view is the detailed view from the app as I’m sitting inside my house. So do you suppose with 24 satellites accuracy is going to be way better than plus or minus 33 feet??

How about a test? If you’ve read my other article a couple days ago, I mentioned the Samsung Health app on my phone that works with my Samsung Watch. I assume the GPS chip (and WiFi and/or Bluetooth if they are used) in the phone is what gets used, but since it’s less than one foot from the watch while I’m riding my bike it really doesn’t matter if there’s another GPS chip in the watch.

Check out this picture from the Samsung Health app where my route is overlaid on a satellite view. I took a little detour into a school parking lot that would simulate stopping in to a ballot drop box at a post office or at a business.

I’m traveling “down” from the top of the map, and take a right into the parking lot area. (Ignore the curved blue line in the lower right hand corner as that was on my way out on the ride.) I looped around exactly as shown, and then went back out and took another right hand turn to continue South on my way. Now you can see that the blue line does cross over some curbs, and those spots are off my exact location by up to 10 feet or so. Keep in mind that I was moving this entire time. If I had stopped, there would be more “pings” and thus more precise information for any app tracking my location.

But in any event, you could still tell if I were stopping at a drop box, if there had been one in this lot! There is NO way to confuse this as me just happening to be in the area, especially if I had been there 4 or more times in one day, or even more times on successive days. And there is sure as hell no error anywhere near 100 feet!!!

For another little test, I zigged onto a side street near a median with plants in it. I only went off course about 15 feet, and again I’m moving, probably at about 15 MPH since I slowed down slightly, and yet you can see the zig and the zag right back in the blue line on the left and lower.

The blue line to the right and in the upper right hand corner is again on my way out. In that stretch I was at about 21 MPH, and the error does get up to around 20 feet. Even with that much error, you could still tell if I went to any particular spot. And again, if I had stopped long enough to stuff ballots into a drop box the error would have gone down to within 5 feet or maybe less. And given that I’ve chosen ‘Cycling’ on the Galaxy Watch, it’s also possible that the app is programmed such that traveling in long fairly straight lines that there is no priority on correcting relatively small errors to one side of the line because it will make little or no difference even on current speed, let alone total distance at the end of the ride.

Given the current topic, can GPS alone do even better? There’s another app you can use to do these tests, and it’s called ‘GPS Waypoints Navigator’. For one thing, this app will give much more information about the satellites used to “fix” your position.

Again I’m indoors, and for this instant in time the app only used a small number of 14 satellites. This was as low as the number got, but still plenty good enough for the app to specify +/-10 feet for accuracy, and that’s the best accuracy it ever specifies even though satellite views will show you that it is easily better than 10 feet.

If you’re outdoors, the app has multiple map overlays that let you do fairly exact accuracy testing. Here’s an example using Google maps satellite view, which is higher resolution than the NASA satellite option:

Two things to note from this. First, the blue circle is about 3 feet from where I am standing. Second, it is a circle because it knows I am stopped. Even at very slow walking speeds the indicator will be an arrow, and it goes to a circle within a couple seconds after you stop walking. So the point is that not only will there be location information that puts a cell phone within 3 to 5 feet of any given spot, but there will also be information on how long you are stopped at that spot.

So of course this means in probably 95+% of drop box locations, even if the person is not there in the middle of the night, and even if the person has some valid reason to be in that area multiple times in one day, you’re going to be able to identify that indeed they are going to that drop box multiple times per day, or to multiple drop boxes per day. There is absolutely probable cause to assume that the person is a fraudulent ballot mule, and any competent judge without bias should readily grant a warrant such that police can identify the person who owns the phone and question them, whether the warrant is issued to the joke Georgia Bureau of Investigation, or any other law enforcement agency.

I’ll also note that the ‘GPS Waypoints Navigator’ app shows you 6 decimal places for both longitude and latitude. This gives you a theoretical accuracy of about 4 inches, as explained at this link:

http://wiki.gis.com/wiki/index.php/Decimal_degrees

It’s entirely possible that True The Vote has a method to ensure positioning within a foot or so, especially with WiFi and Bluetooth added in.

Again, for 95+% of drop box locations, and especially with context information from the person’s other movements, 10 feet is good enough for probable cause, and 5 feet or less is absolute proof the person is at that drop box. And I haven’t even gotten into the context of glove wearing and ballot photographing they show in ‘2000 Mules’.

Bottom line being there is no doubt that the “fact checkers”, Bill Barr, and the GBI, just to name a few, are lying through their teeth. This lie can go right up there with “Trump colluded with Russia”, “Hunter Biden’s laptop is Russian disinformation”, “Masks stop viral laden droplets that are tens of times to hundreds of times smaller than the gaps in the masks”, and the “vaccines” are “safe and effective”.

Claiming anywhere near “100 feet of error” is a brazen and bald faced lie, albeit typical by now coming from the left and from RINO sleazeballs.

Please share this far and wide.
