A barcode is printed moron. I’ve used them. Most wont read a bar code on the first swipe. A paper crease is not a barcode, its a fiber fold. Again I ask where is this magical machine? Where is the proof that he can identify a paperfold form Philly and one from China? Do you have a picture of it? How about a youtube video that shows a machine identifying thousands of microscopic folds per second? Before you start insulting my intelligence, you might want to verify your gullability. He even said that he has never used this on any ballots or in any elections, but this machine can do a million ballots in a day. Just waiting on the proof. Please produce it.
Well smarty, the fold of the paper makes a pattern of ‘broken fibers’ in the crease. THAT is readable like a barcode with the right settings. It will be gibberish to a market scanner but the scanner can be set to determine presence or absence of the crease. Paper can also be scanned for clues, and water marks can be read as atop of the paper or in the paper.
BTW, did you know that the Treasury takes in currency and a high speed scanner identifies counterfeit bills?
