In actuality, Karpinski said, what the clip captured was the canvass worker darkening an oval that had been filled in too lightly, to ensure that it would be picked up by the ballot scanners. BS - two points.
First. Who gave that person the authority to determine voter intent? Run the ballot thru the machine. If it fails, decide after the count what voter intent was.
Two. I live in that district and used that ballot. The section he filled in was the School Board candidate section - a section often left blank. The only African American candidate for school Board was on that page - he may have filled in a vote for that candidate - we dont know - just sayin ...

Hanging Chads on steroids.
Now it will be smudged ovals, protruding ovals, deficient ovals, ambiguous ovals, or doubled ovals.

That IS ballot tampering.
What if someone had changed his mind about the vote or lightly marked on accident (dropped their pen, ink smudge from their hand, etc).

So if we were to watch such a video feed for 2 hours, how often could we expect to see these non-observed “auditors” altering ballots?
Shouldn’t any attempt to mark a ballot be observed by 1 or more people?

He stopped, looked all around prior to flipping it over and getting to work.

Back in school in the 70's, state test exams were marked by the students with #2 lead pencils.
Am I to believe that this century's, high tech machines, cannot read a #2 lead pencil?

Several auditors were doing it, however, MOST, Marked the original ballot with a yellow highlighter, and created a 2nd ballot, preserving the first. This person marked the original and put it in the stack - we have no idea what was changed.

He stopped, looked all around prior to flipping it over and getting to work. He noticed a certain school board candidate section wasnt filled in, flipped the ballot, looked around, then flipped back to the school board candidate section and marked it .

I can’t speak to the election laws of other states but in CO it is required to use black ink. No exceptions.

Isnt that illegal? It used to be - I went to BOE this morning and showed the supervisor the video - she said the MD Board of Elections have authorization to do that for This election, since millions of votes were going to be by mail.

I saw the guy one table further back with a highlighter, I didn’t know what that was about.

If the ballot wasnt filled in properly than it doesnt count. No poll worker should be doing anything with the ballots except opening the envelope, unfolding it and feeding it into the machine.

Exactly right. Some people only vote certain things on their ballot I did just that on Saturday when I voted. I did not vote my whole ballot.
