She forgot the other part of the threat: “Or lose all federal funding for the next four years”. That’s the only way to get the states’ attentions.

To anyone wondering about ballots watermarking. Yes, it is a thing. I refer you to an agency with the acronym CISA and a July 28, 2020 document entitled “Main-In Viting in 2020 Infrastructure Risk Assessment”.

Voting systems and states can and do use watermarking to ID official ballots, per the CISA.

I wonder what elements of the ballots are audited? Without knowing the criteria, we can't evaluate the magnitude of this action. Does anyone know?

This was two years ago.
Many possibilities abound.

Yes. Before certification all ballots must be verified.

Per the CISA, some states and voting systems watermark ballots. Why that isn’t the standard, I don’t know. But watermarks, if used in any states with mail-in ballots issues, could make IDing voter fraud a lot easier.

I wonder if there is a technological method to detect if a ballot was a product of ballot stuffing? Watermarks? Pens markings tracked in multiple ballots? Fingerprints?
