This is HUGE news. This should be at the top of the page or even stickied. Before this, we had no idea, other than the random dots on the ballots similar to what they use to catch counterfeiters. I compared the 2020 and 2018 ballots to a 2010 ballot and sure enough the dot patterns were present in the 2020 and 2018 ballots but not the 2010 one. The UV light must be a specific frequency to see? I'd like to look more into this.
I want to see every state recounted. We may not need another election in 2021. This could be enough.
There are two common UV wavelengths, referred to as "long" and "short". I forget which is which, but one of them produces a visible purple light, whereas the other is not visible to the human eye (thus, the reason those are called "black lights"). The UV spectrum, is just that, a spectrum from a low to high frequency, so it is possible there is a specific wavelength within that spectrum that a special ink is made to ONLY fluoresce when that wavelength hits it.

that's crazy but pretty cool. i've never heard of this.
