If they have pictures or something more substantial to give to PV, that would be perfect. Also, if they have fake ballots, is there not a way to tell the real ones from the fake ones? I don't mean to bring up the watermark thing again but this is getting ridiculous, we HAVE to have had a countermeasure against fake ballots.

The officials probably used real ballots, just filled them out themselves

This is why EVERY person should receive 1 ballot only. No "extras" laying around for any reason.

A $12 hr pole worker doesn’t Care about Biden enough to do something so brazen as fill out a fake ballot

Thats were you are wrong. It had nothing to do with money, they want power and lawyers are willing to throw molotov cocktails for their cause.

Not sure what you are getting at. Sure, they would 'count' them. Im just saying that many of these people are not rational - to them, orange man is bad, and the ends would justify ANY means.

It's so fucking easy for anyone with a CS background.

You use a pseudorandom number generator with the salt being the ballot ID number. All ballots are then printed with their ID and the hash output from the generator.

You keep the seed for each election locked up next to the nuclear codes.

How do you verify if a ballot is real? Well punch in the ID, and the seed and BAM out comes the hash.

It's cryptographically secure, and once counting stops you can publish the seed so anyone can validate a ballot.

Count them all, throw out the illegal ones, arrest anyone who submitted an illegal ballot, and you're set.

However this only works if they don't get official ballots. This obviously won't stop other kinds of fraud.

Voter ID should be step one, not the goal.

voter id, blockchain, and serialized ballots with keys like crypto to unlock the information where they know who voted, when, where, tied to your id where you could pick out a specific ballot from 20 million others with 100% accuracy with other information about who gave you your ballot, who transported it, where it went, etc.

Our polling place had a 'stack' of ballots because they obviously have to give one to each voter to fill out. Are they sure they were already filled out or used nefariously? I'm only saying this because I would think there would be a stack of unfilled ballots at every polling place that used paper ballots.

That's where we store the new ballots that we give out to the voters.

They're numbered, At the end of the day the used ballots (machine tabulated) and the leftover new ballots are locked back in the bin.

Not in NC. I was a poll worker. The unused blank ballots are stored in locked fireproof cabinets, not the DS200.
