I need to go through a Jovan Pulitzer video that "the media doesn't want you to know."

He is showing his hand at what may be on the report.

It's called "Legal Ballots Are Encoded," and like most things Jovan puts out. It is extremely misleading.

A thread:
In the video, Jovan is showing an extremely closeup of what I assume is a Maricopa ballot. He then tells people:
"Watch it for your own eyes."
"Those are the coding in the ballot."
"This is what our systems do."
At :36 he goes on to blames the media for talking about "bamboo ballots" and that it was never about bamboo (it was, but I digress). "They play on your mind and play tricks and jokes on you because they think you are all a bunch of cabbage heads."
So what is Jovan showing in this video. They are called "microdots" and yes, they do exist. They are little yellow pixels that some color printers add to a print and they act as a sort of tracking code (serial number, date and time of print)

BBC article: bbc.com/future/article…
At this point, if you are preconceived to believe in fraud you are probably getting ready to "BOOM."

But Jovan stops there, because he wants you to boom.

So do Maricopa ballots have microdots?

The answer is "some."
I talked to @RunbeckElection (remember, not Dominion) after someone showed me this video to ask about the microdots. They said that one type of their ballot on demand printers do have microdots.

The large commercial printers for the 1.9 MM early ballots?

No.
So this begs the question. If only a fraction of the county's voted ballots have microdots, what is the point of releasing this video? What does it prove other than attempting to rile up those that believe in election fraud?
Roughly 1/2 of "microdot" ballots were probably in person early voters, so the chain of custody does pass to the county for possible adjudication. But the other half are election day, which means the ballot goes printer ->poll worker->voter->tabulation machine.
All of the ballots in question are printed on the spot, so at no point could a microdotted ballot be "injected" into the system without a voter showing ID.
Jovan is pulling a post history History Channel stunt here, using scientific tools to measure something but conveniently leaves out the relevance of that measurement so that the audience can fill it in themselves.

I would also add to this, even if someone had control of the microdots to manipulate the code, there would be a discrepancy with the image and the cast vote record, something Jovan does not show.

So again, leaving the decision up to the audience.

Someone just sent me a link to an entire @maricopacounty voter file that was posted online for public access by an outside the state GOP group.
or alleged GOP group. I've never heard of them and I haven't found any filings yet.
To be clear. It's the publicly available file. There are no restricted fields in there, but posting it online without a password is against statute.

A brief explainer on ballot styles and why they make injecting manufactured (aka bamboo) ballots into the system next to impossible.

A thread using maps of @maricopacounty

*all numbers are estimates using GIS union algorithm.
Ballot styles are what we refer to the different versions of the ballot. Every ballot has multiple races on it with different contests for different areas.

Maricopa would have 1 ballot style without cds, lds, cities, schools, etc...
At this point printing bamboo ballots would be pretty simple. Since everyone gets one ballot you can just load up on one style. Let's add congress.

There are now 8 ballot styles

Ok, as requested. I looked at @SKeshel analysis, which I will thread here.

All in all, pretty basic stuff. A lot of "this looks weird therefore it must be fraud."

1/*
Report starts with "Number of disputed ballots." Disputed by whom? There has been a ton of unsubstantiated speculation in this area with literally zero empirical evidence brought forth by those claiming disputed ballots.

2/*
Non-Citizen voters:
Keshel claims to have a survey of voters by Trump's legal team for the estimate of 36k to 237k non-citizens (that MoE).

They then go after the "fed-only" which was .4% of cast ballots in Maricopa (8,114). Here's how they broke

Bennett changes his tone entirely depending upon the perceived bend of the outlet.
Here's what's wrong about this. A thread 👇

t.me/ArizonaAuditLi…
-The batching disparity he mentions at :42 is arbitrary based on the audit, there's nothing nefarious. In fact, it's concerning since it's unknown at this moment if the ballots remain grouped in their original batches.
-1:16: "the county finally admitted that they had never given these documents, some documents called blue sheets that explain how they took ballots out of batches and sent them to duplication."

They didn't include it because the subpoena didn't ask for it per county response.

This isn't even close to accurate. A directory was recovered by a vendor that had ~20 sql files in it, 6 of which were tangentially related to 2020. @BennettArizona has already walked this back. A lot. #AZAudit
I also don't think Maricopa, the county, has only one database.
Anyway, the county will have a public meeting on Monday to explain this. I've said before the more interesting aspect of the fan letter is the chain of custody and batch issues, or at least what appear to be issues.
