It requires an offset ballot for sharpie to work, otherwise it bleeds through and flags your ballot for adjudication. A lot of these polling places using sharpie were apparently not using offset ballots.
There was a video of a poll worker raging at someone for using their own ink pen instead of the provided sharpie which further fanned the flames of this thing.
Do some googling or duckducking, you can probably still find the video. Happened somewhere in Phoenix.
Ok, thanks. I read several articles where the "officials" discounted any concerns by saying sharpies were used because the ink dries faster and won't smear in the machines.
