The typos and grammar problems are from scanning a text document into searchable PDF. It runs through OCR which isn’t perfect.

Do any of these liberals believe in science, such as OCR’s not being 100% accurate, and math / statistics proving the election was fraudulent?

That’s what I thought also. I emailed Sidney on her website to see if anything to rescan and post on her site, as these idiots will belittle and choke on the form and ignore the substance.

That’s what I thought. Funny how they don’t dispute the substance.

How would this have worked and who would have done the scanning?

Would Sidney have submitted a paper document to the court that was then scanned through an OCR to create a PDF file? Or would Sidney have scanned it herself and submitted a PDF?

Apparently OCR can involve dialing in some settings to get an accurate scan with low errors. If the scanning was done by a clerk or worker at the court, there could have been errors made that were beyond Sidney’s control.

Some blurbs on OCR (optical character recognition) for those unfamiliar:

That is a very good point.
