You see how excited he got when he mentioned that, I feel like he’s holding something back..

This was implemented, but left up to states to decide.

Can you guess which states would refuse to use this form of verification?

That is not how I am interpreting this statement. Sounds to me like they have a system that can determine if ballots came from the same paper/printer based on the "fingerprint" left by the printer. They could treat the entire sheet of paper as a QR code at the micro-dot level and check to see how similar 2 ballots are statistically.

I have to be honest, he lost me when he said QR codes were invented by some guy in Texas. They were invented by the Japanese.

A better statement would have been "inventor of Q-Code SCANNERS" which is more accurate. So yeah, he didn't invent Q-Codes. He invented "the first consumer grade hand held scanner, called CueCat".

I believe Waldron's point still stands. Smart people were able to adapt Q-Code-like technology to come up with a system that can determine whether 2 ballots came from the same printer or not.

To some this might be a bit of a nitpick but for me still kind of major to say "THE QR code scanner" vs. "A QR code scanner". Inventing QR is genius level whereas just making scanner is not that hard. Also, CueCat isn't even a QR code scanner, it is a barcode scanner as far as I can tell. Just get your damn facts straight so you don't make us look like idiots that is all I'm asking for.

edit: And actually a barcode scanner would lend more credibility since I think it is barcodes on the ballots.

For the record, I didn't say he invented QR codes, Col Waldron did... I just reported what Waldron said. So my damn facts are straight.

Since you accurately pointed out mistakes in Waldron's statement, I put in a small amount of effort to find out who "Jovan Pulitzer" is which led me to the source showing that Pulitzer "just" invented a consumer oriented scanner. But yes, saying that this guy created "A QR code scanner" is an even more accurate statement. I am happy that you pointed out that mistake so that we all can be more educated on the matter.

Now after all that discussion, Waldron's point that this guy has also made a "scanner" that can tell whether or not a ballot is fake is still reasonable and is the entire point of this post.

Fair enough, I agree.
