The Garbage Ballots of Maricopa County

In this most recent election, there has been a lot of talk of ballot tabulating machines not being able to read the ballots. That is no wonder because the Offficial Garbage Ballots Of Maricopa County (OGBOMC) are printed at the polling stations at the time you vote. All of these ballots are poorly printed.

But, not all ballots are equal. There are also the Official Beautifully Printed Ballots Of Maricopa County (OBPBOMC). I will have a lot to say about ballots so it won't all get done in one post. It may actually take a book but I am working about 80 hours a week these days so I don't have time to write a book. But, I don't feel that I should stay silent on this issue because most people don't know what I know about ballots.

My Experience Studying Ballots

I worked on the Maricopa election audit of the 2020 election. Over the course of 2 months, I examined, I estimate, between 50,000 and 75,000 ballots. During that process I noticed stark differences in ballots. Not all ballots were printed the same; not even close.

My voting experience on November 8, 2022

The voting station I voted at is located at the Gilbert Public Works Department building on Juniper Avenue across the street from Freestone Park. The polling station I went to in Gilbert supplies voters, not with pre-printed ballots (OBPBOMC) but, with ballots printed from the ballot printing machines located at the polling station (OGBOMC). Having worked on the Maricopa county audit for 2 months last summer i am very familiar with fake ballots. And these ballots printed from the voting machines are, essentially, no better than, fake looking ballots.

After checking in at the polling station, a poll worker told me that my ballot was being printed out and would be ready shortly. I asked “So, you print the ballots out here?” They replied, “Oh ,yes, we can print out any ballot in the state”.

When I got my ballot, which was printed on demand, I immediately examined the ballot for a security feature which is printed on every ballot whether it is a OBPBOMC or a OGBOMC. The security feature I am speaking of is located in the upper right hand corner of each ballot which includes a target on the front and cross hairs on the back. If ballots are properly printed, these line up perfectly. My ballot was imporperly printed so that the target and cross hairs do not match up; not even close. But, the voting machine counted the ballot anyway. This means that any number of fake ballots can be read by the voting machines; no matter how badly they are printed.

(NOTE: I actually got 2 printed ballots. I had to spoil my first ballot because I made a mistake. The tabulating machine did catch my error when I inserted the first one; that's good. But, neither ballot was properly printed so the targets did not match up on either ballot.

What Is the Purpose Of Security Features?

     What is the purpose of having a security feature when the ballot is improperly printed? There is no way to tell the difference between a fake ballot and a legitimate ballot because the supposedly "legitimate" ballots are improperly printed; and printed as badly as a fake ballot. This would be like making a copy of a $100 bill on a black and white desktop printer and trying to pass it off as a real $100 bill.

Threatened by the poll manager

    When i pointed out to the polling station official, that the ballot was improperly printed, she told me there was nothing she could do about it and handed me a blue survey card and told me to fill that out. So I left the polling station and went to the parking lot where I saw some aquatinences and began sharing my experience. Imediately, the polling station manager ran out and told me to leave or she was going to call the shereiff. She accused me of starting a conspiracy. I told her “that is what you are doing” . I said I would leave anyway. I didn't stick around because I don't trust that sheriff. So, I was pointing out a problem with the voting system and was threatened with arrest for my trouble.

     Our elections are as insecure as ever. Anyone who wants to cheat has ample opportunity through this one problem alone. In the last election there were people who reported large numbers of fake ballots being flown in in order to subvert the election. I don't know if it is true or not, could be just another lame conspiracy theory, but the voting machines are calibrated in such a way that they cannot tell the difference between a legitimate ballot and a fake ballot because these on demand ballots are all printed without all the security features of a OBPBOMC.

Ballots I saw on the audit

While I worked on the audit I saw OBPBOMC OGBOMC

Official Beautifully Printed Ballots Of Maricopa County OBPBOMC

The OBPBOMC have the following security features:

•  

  • Security paper – has tiny yellow flecks in the paper visable through a microscope. During the audit I looked at lots of ballots through a microscope.

  • Color coded metallic strip - in the upper left hand corner of the ballot which matches the type of ballot. i.e. a “purple ballot” will say “Purple” at the top and the will be a purple metallic strip on the upper left hand corner of the ballot i.e. “pink ballot” will say “Pink” at the top and the will be a pink metallic strip on the upper left hand corner of the ballot

  • Multi colored ballot – ballots have several colors: black, white, red, pink and for the colored coded ballots, a fifth color is added plus the metalic color coded strip coincideing with the official “color” of the ballot (the strip might even be plastic but they looked metallic to me). Just think of the modern $100 which has a security strip down the middle

  • Target and crosshairs – in the the upper write hand corner; target on the front, cross hairs on the back. They line up perfectly when held up to the light

  • Heavy stock paper – you can feel the difference

  • NOTE: not all of the OBPBOMC had color coded strips or a color designation but all the other security features were there

There really is no way to tell the difference between a fake ballot and a OGBOMC because the OGBOMC is poorly printed; like a bad fake.

•  

  • Security paper optional – many ballots I saw at the audit were printed on what appeared to be average paper

  • No color coded metallic strip - the ballot might say “Purple” or “Pink” etc. but in every case there was no metallic strip; just a grey bar printed on the paper

  • No multi colored ballot – ballots were all grey and white. Some of the ballots were very light grey and while others were a dark grey; almost black

  • Target and crosshairs – in the the upper write hand corner; target on the front, cross hairs on the back. They rarely line up when held up to the light

  • Heavy stock paper optional – you can feel the difference; many ballots printed on thin paper

  • NOTE: not all of the OGBOMC had a color designation but there were no colors even when they did

I am not big on conspiracy theories. My attitude is if it won't hold up in court I am not all that interested. I am interested in imperical information and objective observation. I will have more to say about all of this in the future.

Exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom. When a military boot crashes his balls then he will understand. But not before that. That’s the tragedy of the situation of demoralization. ~Yuri Bezmonov 1984
