In my county, the unique ballot id is generated when an envelope is scanned and is printed on the envelope by the scanner. Great care is taken to keep the envelopes in numerical order of this id number. The ballot envelopes are then opened by batch and tabulated. That should have kept the ballots either in the same order or if the two halves of the batch were recombined in a different order one half could have been moved ahead of the other--also easy enough to determine. What is the purpose of the unique id number unless it is to correlate a ballot to a particular voter? or a particular cvr?
CVR is an output of the EMS, it is not a direct output of the tabulators. It is aggregated. I have looked at both tabulator logs and CVRs for the same election and there is no way to correlate a particular ballot to the same record in the CVR.
