As pictured, they have small printers to print small runs, but I view this as part of a larger effort and have a hard time believing that this administration could keep anything secret, especially something about an election sting.
It’s just not about the ballots, imho.
I realize this is all going down the rabbit hole and I firmly believe that everything about this election - from ballot dumps, to mysterious drop offs by people driving stolen out-of-state vehicles, to sworn statements of fraud, to witness statements of restricting observers, etc etc, including all the misinformation - is all with intent: Death by 1000 cuts.
Or, rather, obfuscate the real crime, which is software manipulation.
Printing, marking, sealing & delivering ballots is logistically intensive and troublesome. Changing ballot counts as loyal workers destroy opposition ballots is easy and can be accomplished with little organization (”conspiracy” comes to mind)
If there’s any validity to ballot audits on the basis of some ‘sting’ - watermark, machine identification code, barcode or otherwise - the real crisis is what happens after the fact. And the real tragedy is both that no one will be prosecuted and neither will the software be investigated and/or pulled from voting systems.
It’s rather ironic that many states have abandoned electronic voting systems as being too vulnerable and troublesome, adopting the old paper ballot, but that in the process they bundled tabulating software which is even better than the voting machines themselves in terms of ability to manipulate the results of an election.
See my tagline.
I’ve stated it elsewhere over & over: We need either a federal statute or Constitutional amendment to deal with national elections in the technology era, along with penalties which are as ironclad as those for drug trafficking.
I’m just biding my time, trying to sift through all the fog (MOST of it IS ‘fog’) and waiting to see what will come with at least one or two state legislatures exercising Article II for the electors.
And prepared to dispatch with extreme prejudice those who riot in the wake of a possible defeat of Democrat election fraud (American Coup #2).
You and I are on the same page. The paper ballots are the preponderance of evidence for audits, the real meat on the bone is where the heck did Biden get 70 million of his votes?!
It ain’t fake ballots. Its digital. And who owns the software?
Nancy Pelosi and Diane Fienstien.
And dementia addled Pelosi bragged about it.
Now, what politican have you seen in the last decade with the body parts to confront corruption?.. None!
But then Trump is not a politician. He is a patroit with a history of punching back.
Now, as to his administration you are correct, it’s leak central. But who is loyal and knows how to keep their mouth shut?
A select few in the military. So to set up a sting that is who you need. So the cyber security wing of Homeland Security is set up. They are tasked with protecting the critical infrastructure. That is defined to include the voting infrastructure. This places it under military jurisdiction and unlike the CIA you can use military assets to monitor internal critical infrastructure assigned to your jurisdiction.
This was done year two of Trump. It was controlled and operated outside of his administration. The guy plays chess’ the Demoncrats play checkers.
