I remember something about that. Sounded unfounded to me. Not that there weren't watermarks on the ballots, but that it was some sting operation lead by homeland security or some other federal agency. I believe the state is in control of getting the ballots printed so not sure how the federal government would inject themselves.

Also, I don't think blockchain plays any role here. People love to throw out the word blockchain and I don't think they have any idea what that means.
