What got debunked? Videos were fake or some mental gymnastics about how it was justified and there was actually nothing wrong with poll observers having to observe the process from behind the barriers 30 feet away?
This is what CBS says:
> Claim: "In Philadelphia, observers have been kept far away — so far that people are using binoculars to try and see — and there's been tremendous problems caused. They put paper on all of the windows so you can't see in."
> Rating: Somewhat true
> The Philadelphia Inquirer did photograph an unidentified poll watcher using binoculars while workers can be seen in the background counting ballots inside the Pennsylvania Convention Center. But it's unclear how far away the observer was from the vote-counters, and the photo is dated November 3, Election Day.
By the way CBS, great job on your fact-checks. It's not "unclear", there is literally a video of it where it's crystal clear how far away the observers were. "Somewhat" true, jesus christ.
