People wanted to dismiss the watermark theory so bad but the first time I heard it my reaction was, “Shit. That is so simple and it would be so effective.” Even as people were screaming at us and calling us idiots (as usual), I thought, “Even if this isn’t true, will you at least not admit it would be a good idea going forward?” But they wouldn’t even look at it like that. It was like the concept of watermarked ballots infuriated them on principle.
After the election, a rumor was out there that the ballots had a watermark that was placed there by the military. States did not know about it and neither did China. So even if there were things they were able to forge ahead of time, the military had proofed the ballots against fraud in this way. Then we didn’t hear much follow up on that so people assumed it was just fake hopium and if you continued to bring it up, especially on T_D, people would yell at you for creating distractions.
The machines can print out ballots, presumably with the marking filled in. It's a full-featured voting machine that's perfect for cheating.
Fradulent ballots would not have the watermark. It depends somewhat on how secure the printing of the proper ballots are. But I'm guessing much of the fraud is low tech. Catch the low tech fraud and everything is invalidated.

Right. Any fake ballots might look real to the naked eye, but shine a special light on them and voila: forgeries!
