It looks like a batch is flagged red as having been adjudicated if the operator touched at least 1 ballot in the batch. But if you were to scan a batch of 50 it wouldn't tell you which votes were changed, how they were changed, or how many in the batch were changed. Now imagine in every batch of 50 there is likely at least 1 that honestly needs adjudication (smudges etc), and every batch is flagged red. All record of vote changes is lost. This looks designed to avoid any paper trail of the operator changing votes.

Jesus, I didn't even think of it from that angle. Totally designed to create uncertainty.

"This batch of 1000 is red? Oh yeah I had to correct one of them, don't worry I didn't touch the rest of them and you have no way to check if I did."
