Yes, that's my point. If the case ever gets past the motion stage these folks offering these affidavits will be subject to cross examination. It would actually be fairly interesting but so far these cases are being dismissed before the fact-finding phase of a trial. The affidavits themselves llikely won't be admissible.
They are only admissable if, for some reason, the person *cannot* make it to court. To build your judicial case on affadavits is very weak and is only done when there is little-to-no actual evidence and you're hoping for the best.
If these people saw something during the course of election day and during the counting, it was their duty at the time to immediately blow the whistle and bring it forward. That's how the evidence would have been documented and recorded. You can't come in a few weeks later, when it's all over, and your guy didn't win and talk about what you think you saw. Well, I take that back, yes, you can do that; however, it won't hold up.

An affidavit is the written version of swearing under oath to tell the truth, just as if you were testifying in a courtroom.
That describes the implication of lying in an affidavit. Is says nothing about whether or not an affidavit can be submitted as evidence in court.
Maybe I am being too technical here. I've not trying to make a political point. It's been interesting through this whole process watching how people think the legal system works so I have just been trying to add some tehnical notes along the way. Being geeky.
