The ballots are generated using the Dominion software. PDFs of the ballots result from this generation. The PDFs are sent to multiple sources for various reasons. They send them to me because I have the responsibility of writing tests for the election machines. This basically means we print ballots and run tests through the machines before the election to make sure that the ballots that go in match the results that come out of each machine. The ballots are also sent to the printer, and all of this is done over the internet using Google drive services.
The fact that this very important file is passed around so loosely is what I am blowing the whistle on. It wouldn't matter so much if there wasn't mass mail in voting. But because of the mass mail voting this PDF file becomes something that needs to be guarded closely, because anyone could take that file and print 100,000 ballots and store them in a box pre-marked for whoever they want as an insurance policy on election night.
