Here's the thing...

There's no proof that this is malicious. If there's an error in the batch, you take the one that raised an error, put it on top, put them back in the machine, clear the last batch, and run it again.

When she removed the ballots, she looked through them, then moved one to the top before messing with the computer and running again.

That's EXACTLY what any opposition will say. Without concrete proof of the ballots and a close up video, there's nothing. We've had MUCH harder proof than this and nothing was done.

Absolutely agree. While I’m sure there was no bar code this is not even remotely good evidence.

Here is what would make this evidence:

After the video, someone walked up to her filming, took the ballots she rescanned, took a photo of them to reveal no barcode, then correlated those with some sort of identifier back to the duplicate votes showing it increased.

Otherwise if you presented this in court, she would be coached to say β€œoh this happens all the time they were just bad. I rescanned to make sure they all went through. Also I was looking around for my supervisor to inform them of the issue, NOT because I was being suspicious” and I’m sure this is perfectly plausible.
