“They were evaluating the ballot envelopes and found duplicate submissions. The County declared both sets of the envelope signatures valid (usually received a week apart), took the ballots out and mixed them with all the other ballots before counting them.”
I’m not sure if that’s true. Not saying it isn’t, but the presentation didn’t make that clear. Obviously, if the county counted all the duplicate ballots that were sent, then it’s a slam dunk, since the 17,000 figure is almost twice the margin of victory. The reason I’m not sure if this is the case though, is because later in Dr. Shiva’s presentation, he displayed duplicate envelopes where one copy was stamped ‘approved” and the other one wasn’t. The key number would seem to me to be the number of duplicate envelopes that have “approved” stamped on them rather than the total of duplicates mailed in.
I do see the same general pattern, however Figure 67 shows 3 envelope images, with two stamped (the approval stamps, and some sort of timestamp on the envelope, look identical), with slightly different handwriting on the dates (but very likely the same person).
You’d think that the County would put duplicates detected in a different folder. That said, the numbers don’t appear to correlate.
Good observation though.
Still rather wild that the verification stamps seem to skip that triangle.
