I live in PA and was given a sharpie. I live in a very pro-Trump Township (I just checked and it was recorded as 74% for Trump), but I did notice they bled through to the other side and had this thought during voting. However, it is very suspicious if the email is legit. Like why would you even make the distinction?
The issues with those ballots not being counted by the machines were widely reported on election day. They started telling everyone not to use sharpies but they were still handing sharpies to voters at many places.
There was even a report of staff taking a pen out of someones hand and giving them a sharpie.
Yeah I heard about that, but in my experience didn't appear to be an issue (thougb it could be a different scanning machine used). HOWEVER, the email is super suspicious to me.
I've seen evidence its true... the bleed through confused the particular scanners they used in AZ. There was a button on the scanner to just override errors (which would just not count sections of the ballot the scanner was confused about) and the poll workers just kept pressing it (without asking voters if it was ok) without telling voters what they were doing.
is this just a fucking sideshow, or did they really not count all the sharpie votes?
normies are under the impression that all the sharpie votes were counted so it doesn't matter who gave them the sharpies
The machines couldn't read most of the sharpie votes because they bleed through to the other side of the page.
