Actually putting my ballot in was problematic, so I called and asked the elections board. Jake answered and explained how the process worked, how they tested it and how it properly tallied.
But I agree. It does not give you ANY indication that what you voted is what it counted.
I was also VERY uncomfortable with the process.
And they kept my ballot, which I hope is used in the recount.
What do you expect from the bury and maryland?
As far as knowing if your vote was counted-you have to trust local election officials are doing the right thing. At the close of election day they will see if the vote totals on all the machines match who signed into vote and will see if each machine that tallies matches the number of ballots it took in.
12:42 that still doesnt validate that who you voted for is who got the vote.
ATM provides a receipt.
Why not a voting machine?
I like the idea of a receipt with a voting machine!
12:36 was he wearing khakis? Im not saying its not possible, but do you think Grandmas and Grandpas sitting at the check in table could figure out how rig up the machines to change or not register your vote? These are the same elder people who cant operate a cell phone.
Yep.
On dems get verification.
Yes I agree! Why can't we start getting receipts?
Bring back paper ballots
MD does use paper ballots.
12:55 again it falls on the officials. They know which way the precinct leans so for instance if Clinton wins at the OC convention center on Tues that will be suspect. Also in a precinct when you tally the first machine all the other machines run along the same percentages-so if there is a significant difference in any machine an official will take notice and report. That is not to say it's foolproof but I don't know how it could be.
Paper ballots marked by hand is the only to be really sure the vote is right.
Not to worry Dems!
I saw a Shred-It truck behind the
Civic Center today
Just saying!
That's what we do in MD and then the ballot is slid in a machine for tally 4:27. The ballots are saved in case of discrepancy. They know what ballot went into what machine so can check.
2:43, the only thing the "paper" ballots did is the away the visual screen that you could look at and verify (?) who you voted for before pushing the "send" key.
Now, it's blind. We have NO IDEA what the reader machine "read".
I at least want a paper receipt.
And did you notice how many people initialed the small paper that you took from station to station? I think they were as careful as possible. I'm usually a complainer but last night went very smoothly around 5:00.
Just do not trust the way you vote here in Salisbury. I left the house without any kind of ID whatsoever - not needed. You cannot tell, after voting, how you voted, so I am not convinced it will be cast as specified, I just do not believe that at all. And I still want to know how many dead people vote. When was the last time the records at the election board were purged?
It is rigged. We do not have a democracy anymore. The powers that be with all the $ from Wall Street determine the future for us all. So so sad!!!
Rigged!! Our democracy no longer exists!!!
waited an hour to vote and couldnt even see what the machine "read" like you could in the primary
No one can tell me that with electronic technology that we have now that a machine can not show you who your vote registered for when it is counted. With 13 states with Soro's machines who do you think the votes are being counted for regardless of who you vote for?
