From what I read it's not just about bleedthrough, but also about the type of "ink" used. The felt tip/sharpie pens use different ink and the ballot reader can't "see" it, so it has a high risk of geting registered as a blank ballot if we use one of the felt tip/sharpie pens.
I didn't save it this morning, like a moron. I was more focused on confirming the sharpie thing wasn't a hoax and figuring out who to contact in my state. It was in an article explaining why sharpies are banned or discouraged from use for voting in some countries, which I thought was a good idea.
Now all my search results are filled/tainted with gaslighting from the US of "It's ok guys! Sharpies are fine! It's a right-wing conspiracy theory! Point at them and laugh!" This all is seriously messing with my head.
According to this Maricopa County tweet though, they are saying they specifically staggered the columns so bleed through wouldn’t matter. They could solve this easily just showing some machine tests.
some documents, and no i dont have links, showed that 'fine tip' sharpies were ok.
it was about the bleeding through to the other side, which i get.
the issue at hand is where they handed out the blunt felt tip sharpies...
KNOWING that fucks up the reader, and causes voting delays.
pedes, you know you vote. hang in there.
your vote counts. and we will count them.

right on.
just saying, i saw a pede upload a document and that state document validated 'fine tip' sharpies.
otherwise yes. it was messing with the scan of the machines.

Yeah... that is EXACTLY my problem now.
Interesting thought.... this is a different type of censorship. Create a new narrative that completely buries the information you want to find.
