texas here, ours was electronic, and then printed out on a long skinny paper with a notched upper right corner, it did have a sort of barcode on it i think at the top or the bottom, and it printed my electonic selections, i double checked them, then you put it in a feeder which zips it into the election box. i did not see a water mark and if its some special paper, then all ballots would be on that paper? or would each state be different.
It was better than before when we did not get a printout of our vote we had to trust it was in that 8 track tape looking cartridge… so weird. all of it, it should be consistent it seems like.
