Shit.. does this mean the micro-dot printer theory might come into play? If these were downloaded and printed on a bunch of different private (household) printers, each printer would have its own unique microdot fingerprint... If you could get a sample of the printed ballots and compare the printer's fingerprints with the official state printed ballots, you might be able to build a case...
Private printers tend not to have that technology as far as I know.
But company/college printers have some counterfeiting detection and tagging capability - or did - as there are not as common and more easily traced through procurement chains and log-ons.
