Man... Her post went from

"You can see that it appears to be a Python script that programmatically creates a series of synthetic ballot images (two pages per ballot) with random variations, then logs information about each generated image in a text file.

In essence, it’s simulating “filled-out” ballots."

"You basically see that this tool they built could be used to invalidate ballots in bulk.

Machines could do it during initial scanning instead of later on, or on custom metrics.

Just set the machines to count less blue ink ballots and instruct democratic areas to use blue pens.*

Either I missed something vital or she's talking out of her ass.

The point is though, even if we had 100% certifiable proof that the 2024 election was rigged with direct ties to Trump and/or Musk being responsible by giving a direct command, I honestly don't know if that would make any difference today.

I also don't know exactly what she is getting at. What are these generated ballot images being used for precisely?
