Because the triangle is solid black and the stamp text is also black, SO if you scan the image with a camera it cant differentiate between the black triangle ink and the stamp black text ink, your own eye could barely even notice the black stamp text on a solid black triangle. the ballot image seems to have some sort of replication algorithm that only traces and recreates the outlines of what it detects which is why the original ballot is a solid black triangle and the ballot image is a clear triangle, this also explains the weird warping around all of the stamp text, every ballot image has a different warping due to the random placement of the stamp.
e.g the recreated image isn't going to print the outline of the stamp within the solid black triangle because there IS NO OUTLINE to trace leaving the whole area blank making it "appear" as though the stamp text goes underneath when it actually went over the triangle. you can actually see the outline algorithm at work in the top left ballot image picture where it adds a spike to the triangle because it thinks the "A" in "Approved" is part of the triangle. <-------- sauces- Ballot Image: https://files.catbox.moe/7ezvfe.png Actual Ballot: https://media.kjzz.org/s3fs-public/green-ballot-envelope-signature-20201013.jpg
Focusing on and spreading photoshopgate(yeah im gonna call it that pogg) takes away from the point of why the images were presented in the first place, which is the fact that they put the verified stamp on ballots that don't even have a signature on them xD but hey at least now everyone has seen the stamp on ballots which no signature without noticing it, maybe that is why shiva mentioned photoshopgate, so that everyone on both sides spreads and debates the photoshopgate without realizing they are spreading indisputable evidence that they have verified ballots WITH NO SIGNATURE ;)
This is exactly the same technique they used with the draft summary that they "leaked", Jovan Pulitzer basically admitted that the draft leak was done by the audit team to bait the media in this interview around 32:00 ;) https://rumble.com/vmxq93-jovan-pulitzer-reaction-to-maricopa-county-audit-september-24-2021.html
absolute classic
EDIT: Great debate in comments going into further detail.
Why would they say that they're images of ballots, if they are some kind of fake recreations? There is no reason in the world to be showing any kind of processed images at the senate presentation. The redaction is simple black rectangles added to the images.
That's simply an issue with the naming of the ballot image, a ballot image isn't a picture like most people assume, it's an "image", an image isn't always a photo/picture. An image is just something that resembles the original.
Image definition = "a representation of the external form"
A ballot image is a specific term designated for ballot images, when they say "this is a ballot image" they aren't saying this is a 1:1 picture of the ballot, they are saying it's a "ballot image" a technical term.
I say that a scanned image should look like the original. I don't see any way that the triangle would turn into an outline, while nothing else in the image was outlined.
In other words, bullshit.
In other words you would have an algorithm in place that traces only outlines of blocks of color wider than 2mm which you can see has clearly happened in all the examples i have provided to you, every single block of ink under 2mm isn't outlined because it is simply just the outline alone e.g text, yet the big thick blocks over 2mm in width e.g the signature box the 2 triangles and the thick red text above the signature box are all hollow in the ballot image and full colored on the original ballot. sigh please read all comments on thread for deeper explanation
That's what Mark Twain would call a "stretcher."
What would be the actual point of scanning an image and modifying one small part of it incorrectly?
I read all of the comments, and it still sounds like a Rube Goldberg explanation for something that simple photoshop error explains simply. Occam's Razor and all that.
