Probably has to do with each affidavit having to be notarized and signed in person on separate documents. When it comes time to compile and upload it she probably just scanned it and uploaded it. But I’m not sure exactly.
Spelling counts. Sometimes it’s right out there and sometimes it’s sneaky/subtle, like the recent documents where “I” and “l” were “accidentally” switched.
How to Correct a Typo in a Legal Document
By: Salvatore Jackson, J.D.
In any given courtroom throughout the U.S., there are thousands of pages of legal documents filed every day. Although attorneys are well trained and well educated, and often employ well trained and experienced paralegals to assist them, the tremendous amount of paperwork makes it inevitable that errors will eventually appear. While it may be somewhat embarrassing, a conscientious attorney (or litigant) has a duty to quickly report and correct errors before the court upon learning of their existence.
Step 1
Determine whether the typographical error requires correction. While a court will appreciate the candor of an attorney or litigant admitting an error in a document they have filed, going through the process of refilling a legal document isn't worth it unless there's a meaningful error. A misspelling of "jurisdiction" or "probable cause" is not likely to obscure the meaning of the word and therefore does not require correction. However, including an incorrect case citation or statute, or a typo that constitutes a material error (such as an incorrect address) will likely require immediate correction.
Step 2
Take advantage of the "one free do-over" rule. Under Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (applicable in federal court), a party that has submitted a pleading before trial may amend that pleading within 21 days of serving it on the opposing party. If the document before the court with a typo requires a response, a party may amend within 21 days of the responsive pleading. A party may amend the pleading to fix the typo without the permission of the judge or opposing counsel. Furthermore, almost all state civil procedure rules are based off the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and contain a liberal provision for refilling similar to Rule 15
I don't think this was OCR at all. That wouldn't even make sense. I don't think she typed on a typewriter, then scanned the typed pages.
It's far more likely that these were created on a computer, then they were converted to PDF, and due to different style formats when copying and pasting, her conversion software glitched.
I didn't see any typos or misspellings. But I saw many places where there were no spaces between words, or excessive spaces between words, the latter definitely being a formatting issue I've had to deal with in MS Word many times.
Here's an example of different style formats creating an error. You can guess which part was obviously copied and pasted from another document which would have used a different font style and size:
32.Defendant Michigan Board of State Canvassers is “responsible for approv[ing] votingequipmentforuseinthestate,certify[ing]theresultofelectionsheldstatewide....” Michigan
Compiling all of this into one document, then applying formatting to it to make it all the same font - and then on top of that, converting it to PDF - there was formatting code that created conflicts during the conversion.
It's tedious, but one way to ensure this doesn't happen is to first paste your text into Notepad, then copy it again and paste it into your document. It won't carry any formatting code over that way.
OCR can introduce typos as the machine attempts to recreate a text document.
It's a non-issue regardless. Long documents submitted on a time crunch often have a few typos. While typos can be distracting, what matters is the argument being made.
The OCR software often times cannot correctly identify the original text and punctuation. The quality of original documents and the font style used can dramatically hinder OCR software’s ability to function properly. There is the other issue of whether the document went threw an OCR run prior to being uploaded or shared. Typically, the first OCR run will have some type of errors.
If people weren't talking about the typos, they wouldn't be talking about it at all.
"typos and conspiracy theories" will be the mantra. Then we win and they can't understand why.
"but there was a typo! How can Trump do this?"

It may very well be intentional to get people to tslk about it.
LOL, going to share this comment all over twitter......
Dripping hair dye 2.0
Not wrong smh
It's a good way to hide from FOIA searches.
Hillary for example as HiIIary
One is correctly spelt the other is not and OCR would not pick it up.
The argument is this is done willingly. To hide, or to not be legally binding I don't know.
At this point who cares about typos. It is the content.
The media can't resist pointing out typos it gets more exposure now then it ever would without.

If OCR is 95 percent accurate, it means there is an error in one out if every 20 words. That's ten errors per page.

Thank you! I know I hate OCR when I have to create a word document from a PDF scan. Nightmare.
But why does that website OCR? Someone explained it, but I don’t know what the terms mean so trying to ELI5 it to others is difficult.

You make mistakes so the MSM informs there are docs but theu are misspelled so they dont mean anything. Anyone today knows about spell check
