I couldn't fit the whole essay in here on voat, so I posted it elsewhere and linked
Never liked the limit here. There is no reason for it. Put in a read more thing. Or downvote for goodness sake.

Hum, I posted a youtube of a gal that found a small dotted watermark on her voter receipt using a magnifier. She didn't hold it steady enough to read what it said but it was clear there was dotted writing on it no doubt.
Its getting interesting.
"After all, just this morning my dad suggested this and I looked into it, and was reminded very quickly of MIC machine id codes which are small yellow pixels printed on every page of paper printed on ANY printer in the US since the 1980s, as a surreptitious forensic tracing mechanism for law enforcement; and it identifies the machine, but some go further and identify the computer network they are attached to, and other metadata. This would be on ballots printed also. I suggested that they are even more advanced now, and could have put chemical taggants such as those used in explosives; or even radiotaggants, small nuclear molecules that are mostly safe but can be detected. I said, get out a geiger counter and test the ballots. That's the only way to be sure."
