Do you think that is possible? Did anyone see colored ink?

Subject: Odd ballot marks from Columbine Elementary?

I'm still wondering what happened with precinct 2181007018 (Columbine
Elementary).  A number of ballots images from that precinct, scanned
as batches 88, 89, 90 and 94 on scanner system F, had unusually faint
markings in the boxes.  The voters each seemed relatively consistent
in the way they marked, but the machine did not count a bunch of votes
on each ballot image because they were so faint.  I was a resolution
judge on that scanner for a while, and saw those ballot images, and it
looked to me like some voters in that precinct could have been using a
pen that wasn't read well by the scanner.  Another judge thought the
scanner may have been dirty when they were scanned.  The resolution
judges involved asked that the paper ballots themselves be pulled so
they could be looked at, and after quite some discussion on Thursday
evening, Linda Salas agreed to do it on Friday.

Does anyone know the outcome?  Did anyone see the actual paper
ballots?

Thanks,
