I tried using 3 digit numbers and they work. I tried a number over 9000 and it does not work. So perhaps the maximum number is the number of different precincts in PA.

The integer allows the ability to find and duplicate absolutely any ballot that is used in the state of Pennsylvania.
Notice the printer marks on the image that are used by print shops.
The envelope layout also provides a print shop the ability to duplicate to an exact form.
The only thing that couldn't be duplicated is signatures on the outside of the envelopes - which, by law, are to be scanned, stored, and verified prior to the envelope being opened.
That's the reason there is such pushback on verifying those stored signatures against those on file with the registrar of the individual counties.
Lastly, the envelope file was supposed to be behind authenticated access on the website.
Can somebody please provide the link from thedonald.win to all of this? I'd like to pursue it further.
