The QAnon cultists are checking the Arizona ballots for bamboo fibers, but they think that ballots were smuggled in from Asia.

John Brakey, an official helping oversee the audit of the 2020 Arizona election, says auditors are looking for bamboo fibers because of a baseless accusation that 40K ballots from Asia were smuggled here. #AzAuditPool pic.twitter.com/57UOBYIehg

The person in the video above is a Republican official who is helping to oversee the audit, and he said, “There’s accusations that 40,000 ballots were flown into Arizona and were stuffed into the box, and it came from the southeast part of the world, Asia, and what they’re doing is to find out if there’s bamboo in the paper.”
Just when you thought that things couldn’t get any crazier than the QAnon cultists looking for secret watermarks on the ballots with UV lights, they start taking pictures of ballots to look for bamboo in the paper because people in Asia do not use the same paper as people in the United States.
There is no bamboo in the paper. Asia did not flood Arizona with fake ballots. It is another conspiracy theory from a group of people who refuse to accept reality.
