So why thw ballot examination by Jovan pulitzer?. if this was true this code would be the only thing that needed to be checked. I guess we'll know this week when the results are published.
I am assuming because the SS uses it to catch counterfeiters so it's embedded. It's on every printer. If they find the mark on the counterfeit bill they know exactly which printer printed it (from what I understood from the article). I am deaf so I can't hear the video.
A counterfeiter couldn't simply photocopy the ballots, the security would likely print "copy" on the copied one. You've probably seen this when you copy an official document.
So they have to be laser printed or commercially printed. We know some of the fake ballots were printed in China. I'm not sure but maybe the official ballots were printed using phosphorescent in the ink, that shows up under blacklight (we saw that inspection in the audit). The Chinese and laser printed ballots wouldn't use this.
Also, where did they get the files to print the ballots? It's possible for a good typesetter to reproduce anything to look similar. But more likely the files were provided. If somebody in government provided those files to China to reproduce ballots, that's treason isn't it?

Every county every state can do the same if they wish. Most probably won't with out lotsa kicking and screaming. They could have done it at any time...and they certainly knew. https://theoutline.com/post/1713/the-history-of-the-secret-printer-code-that-may-have-caught-the-nsa-leaker

No cc possibility? That sucks.
Sorry for Wikipedia link but this page on security printing might help.
