From Twitter – What they are speaking sounds Russian or some type of Eastern Slavic language. It looks like the person who recorded this folded over the ballot and wrote on the back. I wonder what made him take out a lighter and try to make the ink disappear. The poll workers seemed confused, but not sure because I didn’t understand what was being said.
Was this a stunt (the video maker replace the pen with his disappearing ink pen) or was he suspicious of the ink because it was in Russia and he was normally suspicious? Also, can disappearing ink be ‘disappeared’ after hours or days? Unless they sort through the ballots and ‘disappear’ the ones they want to change before the ink stops being ‘disapperable’ … I don’t know. Just wondering.

The man voting was Asian, so I assume this was is a country in central Asia whose Asian population is mixed with Russians. (Slavic, but a completely different dialect from Eastern Europe and Russia.)
I buy eraseable ink pens I use for marking on sewing projects and the ink stays unless you use the attached eraser or, in my case, I apply a warm(doesn’t need to be flaming hot)iron to it and it’s gone instantly. I can leave the ink on the fabric project and it will not disappear until I apply heat. I can leave it for days or weeks.
Also, the pens come in all colors, including black.
Wonder if is treated paper and not the ink. Interesting.
CC is totally correct about the inks. I actually have had sewing inks that purposely fade after a few days.
I’ve only been able to figure out it’s Los Angeles.
I recall a guy in the service who sprayed disappearing ink on a guys dress uniform. When he woke up from the punch in the skull he received for it, he wasn’t laughing as much of the rest of us.
One of the tweets below it says he knows the language, but Claudia picked that out right off the bat!

They are speaking Kazakh and Russia. It takes place somewhere in Kazakhstan.

Special paper wouldn’t make the ink disappear in a flash. That’s a property of the ink.
It looks like the pen is tied to the voting table in the booth. Obviously not his own pen.
It only matters who counts the votes? ICYMI
Pilot Frixion erasable pens have a heat sensitive ink. Get it warm enough it disappears. But if you get it cold enough it reappears. Lots of YouTube about this.
Looks like a registered republican ballot to me.
Nope, I call BS.
I’ve run more than one polling place in my life and we use Sharpies. Only Sharpies.
