Does this alleged breakdown of procedure raise any "red flags"? This rinky-dink outlet is covering it but, are they credible? And if this story is accurate, why isn't anyone else on it?

Those were the dominion machine votes that were created out of this air.

I guess the machines also printed paper ballots as well?

When you shut down the Dominion voting machines you manually count every single ballot and ensure it matches up with the number of votes. I'm really glad we had a small precinct and only had ~150 people on the day of the runoff. Even then it took a good 15-20 minutes just to count the ballots. At the end of 15 hours that seems like an eternity.
We had one Republican and one Democrat pollwatcher.

I find the narrative constantly shifts, it turns into whack a mole. I found some of the breathless claims of fraud to be rather obviously contrived from thin air for some reason, readily discounted. Some folks put a lot of effort into making videos and whatnot that simply relied on verifiably false assertions.

What about the tens of thousands of ballots from phony addresses? Why did those count?
Why weren't the signatures verified? Why did they throw away the envelopes and lose paper ballots?
Please explain.

I didn't hear about thousand of ballots from phony addresses, in Georgia. Maybe it happened.
Signatures were verified of course on absentee ballots, how well, I can't say. They were rechecked in Cobb county and had two thrown out out of 15,000.
I don't know about ballots being lost. I don't know who threw away envelops, maybe they were no longer relevant? I didn't hear that complaint.
One claim made after another .... and then circle back to the original baseless claims.

I will say, if I were the Dems, you would think they would want a huge recount in certain states to disprove and debunk all the theories and make Pubs and vote deniers look silly.

How would they be illegally filled out? What does "ballot harvesting" mean in this context? To be sure, this was day-of voting, not early or absentee.
Not sure what phony addresses there were. I'm unfamiliar with that conspiracy theory.
As cincy said signatures were verified. Envelopes were thrown away because those were legal requirements. Verify, then separate envelopes from the ballots to keep votes anonymous.

Georgia conducted two recounts, using paper ballots. The end result didn't change more than a handful of votes. The margin was 11,000, which is very small out of the millions of votes cast. The recount would seem to validate the initial machine count.
Now, if ballots were illegally cast, of course, a recount won't catch them.

Like they did in Georgia? Twice? Oh wait, sorry, the Republicans did that.

I should have been more specific. Yes, they did in Georgia. I think they should do it in the 5 states republicans always bring up.  I think it would be good for them, and honestly good for all of us to see the small margin of fraud that actually exist. they could even then paint Republicans as wasting time and money on all the phoney accusations, and win some political points.
I would be in favor of after every presidential election, if Dems and Pubs each got to pick any 5 states they wanted and a recount/fraud check was done. I think it would keep everyone honest and on their toes. Not do this to overturn elections, but to show that things are fair and neither side is cheating enough to win. Even wait until after the inauguration to do so.

Each state has it's own recount rules, usually based on whether the election was close enough or not.
And when there is a recount in a national election, the vote changes very little. And folks claim a recount doesn't show the fraud when that happens.
