should have been working on that the past four years. just sayin.

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.

ensure that ballots used during the 2020 presidential election are able to be audited.

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.

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?

[caww]

OOps tee do..Pa Sec of State in a heap of trouble..wait til they see her letter to the county officials thrughout the state to get all personal info on voters whose ballots had been ‘rejected’ so they could get a new ballot to them to vote again....thus voting twice. Against the law.

Secretary of Homeland Security is Chad Wolf

[spacejunkie2001]

[funfan]

[perfect_rovian_storm]

California Code of Regulations
Title 2. Administration
Division 7. Secretary of State
Chapter 4. Ballot Printing

[MayflowerMadam]

I’m glad she did that. That might encourage them to get things cleaned up. A true audit of every ballot would be wonderful, matching names and signatures to voter rolls.

Still, this chick has been a problem in the past, IIRC, but I don’t recall why. It was something anti-Trump. After that, she’s been keeping a low profile. Not sure I trust her.

They can validate if the ballot was printed by the State by looking for the Machine Identification Code (MIC).

If the people responsible for the fraud used a different printing press than the State, the fake ballots will have a different MIC. They can then use the MIC to trace back to the printing press that printed the fake ballots to find the people responsible.

Wiki on Machine Identification Code

[pollywog]

my daughter sent me a text saying that “she hears there was a watermark put on official ballots kind of like the thread in dollar bills.
They’re going to go back to root out all the unofficial ones in the tates they are disputing”

Anyone know anything about this??
