Holy moly. This is the fringiest of the fringe.
QAnon cult members have claimed for months that Donald Trump secretly watermarked ballots to catch Democrats doing fraud.
Now an official with the Arizona election "audit" says they're using UV lights to LOOK FOR THE WATERMARKS.

This comes from an exclusive interview Arizona "audit liason" Ken Bennett gave to the conspiracy theory website Gateway Pundit, whose proprietor Jim Hoft was banned from Twitter for allegedly attempting to manipulate the results of the 2020 election. archive.is/7OP0L

Ken Bennett apologized in 2012 for embarrassing the state of Arizona by suggesting he would keep Barack Obama off of the ballot over a racist conspiracy theory. Recently, Bennett lied about having done that. But I had receipts.

Bennett is a liar. How do I know? In 2012, I published the emails he exchanged with Hawaii officials while trying to investigate Obama's birth certificate. Then, just as today, he was caving to the conspiracy fringe to "insure the integrity of our ballot." talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/emai

And then they suddenly stopped using the UV lights. Makes complete sense. All of it.
