“According to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), ballot duplication is the process for replacing damaged or improperly marked ballots (i.e., the voting system cannot read the ballot) with a new ballot that preserves the voters intent. The ballot duplication processes create a clean ballot with the voters choices that can be read by ballot tabulation equipment. The process also ensures that the original voter-marked ballot is retained for the record including any required auditing. It is the duplicated or transcribed clean ballot, and not the damaged one, that is counted by tabulation equipment.”

marked ballot would be one with
President Trumps name filled in.
