Some companies behind ballot-tabulating machines, including Dominion Voting Systems, recommend felt-tip markers like Sharpies because their fast-drying ink prevents smears, ensuring ballot clarity.
Election workers provide writing utensils that have been tested with ballots long before Election Day. Markers such as Sharpies are considered appropriate to use.
If any writing utensil causes a problem with reading a paper ballot, voters are offered an opportunity to vote again, ensuring the integrity of the election process.
These claims often circulate as anecdotes that spread rapidly online, contributing to widespread misinformation about voter fraud that has persisted since 2020.
