There is no way this printing company printed the ballots.
They could be partnered with a print and mail type printing company, but the printers I see are the ones you use to make posters and banners. I've seen a lot of printers.
High volume printers have bins and hoppers to handle volume. A continuous form printer's paper is about 4 feet tall. Kind of hard to miss, and you wouldn't want one rolling over you. I am not seeing any of that.
You need to run thousands of sheets, and get the best quality, you go with a print and mail company. This company prints posters.
Yes. And even if it were Runbeck, the company that did print ballots, so what? The ballots in question are all locked up as evidence many miles away.
With coding on them that identifies the printer/copier that made them.
It's definitely a distraction. Maybe a deliberate one?
They do think we are complete idiots? That's yet another error on their part.
Unless there really are the routers or print servers in the building. You wouldn't see that on the website photos though, but centralized resources would only happen if you were part of a larger printer group.
There are no routers or print servers connected in any way to voting! For heaven's sake, find out what routers and servers are and do. I have a router and a workstation capable of being a server on my desk and so does every computer wonk I know. Does it mean we are all connected to Maricopa County Elections office? It was an accident that almost killed 4 people and emptied out the rest of the mall where the print company was located. Who is supposed to be distracted? It's a blip on the news this morning. Eventually there will be a followup report which will be even less of a blip. Accidents happen in a city of 4 million all the time.
Where I work (in print and mail), none of the processing servers are held in house. I do have one on my desk, but that's a backup. ALL of our images are archived in some form on a couple of the servers we use. We also do bulk document hosting, so that stuff is all searchable on the servers that have an internet facing setup. I'm more of a programmer than network guy, so I know all the programs and content.
We used to have other companies hold the servers behind a vpn firewall in some server closet (small room with AC). That's what I am referring to.
That in mind, is it possible there was something there of note? Yes. Is it likely? Absolutely not. I am quite sure they didn't print ballots there. They don't have the resources on the floor for that kind of thing.
If the story is a distraction, it is because it literally is a nothing burger.
Maybe they were printing fake ballots...
Not with those printers they aren't. It's overkill to use those and they are way too slow.
Maybe if they had copiers, but I didn't see those.
I agree, total over kill... but they were panicking and we know "these people are stupid"
Plus we don't know ALL the equipment that was there... This print shop (along with the one in NY) were destroyed for a reason.
I hope someone can look into all deliveries into those locations for the past few years...and outgoing stuff too.
