"Georgia’s state election board has approved a new rule requiring a hand-count of paper ballots cast on election day before tabulating votes.
The board approved the rule that would require three people in every precinct to check machine-vote tallies by hand-counting the election results.
“What we are talking about in plain terms is asking for thousands of people to handle ballots before their totals are known and were formally reported without virtually a single safeguard in place.
One of the primary concerns from elections directors is about how the change in procedure would create a chain-of-custody problem in voting centers. Currently, precinct officials never touch a cast ballot. After a voter completes a ballot by touchscreen, their ballot is printed and then the voter places it in a tabulator which scans it and deposits it into a sealed box. The rule change would have local poll workers unseal that box, count ballots by hand and then return ballots to a container to be sealed again.
This is the most insane take on this yet. We shouldn’t have the hacked machines to begin with. Why would you oppose verification unless you want cheating to occur? Really?
Its not about verification. Its about local poling stations now having the ability to open the sealed box and throw out ballots they dont like. Youre not making it more secure, youre making it less secure. But i guess the goal is to spread doubt and distrust, so its working.
You mean like the Postal service union endorsing a candidate and also being the ones who will be collecting and distributing all the fraud prone mail-in ballots? You are the one spreading mistrust and propaganda.
@JimL How concerning would it be in the handling of all the Mail-In Ballots. Who would be monitoring them! That’s probably how the illegal immigrants (with the help of certain people helping them to fill out the mail-in ballots) will be voting (Democrat of course) so no one tracks them, and certainly these illegal immigrants aren’t going to physically show up at the voting pole locations in person.
At least in PA, the mail in ballot is mailed to the resident of the registered voter and the signature is matched to the voter’s signature on record, just like when you vote in person. ID is not required in PA - just signature. Mail in ballots are compared to in person voting records and if the person votes both ways, the mail in ballot is discarded. If anything, mail in is more secure than voting in person - assuming it gets delivered.
In PA, there is also lawsuits about wheter the date is filled in on the ballot next to signature. PA court perviously said date signed is irrelevent and ballot could not be discarded as long as it is postmarked by the last day. Recent court ruling is date matters. We will see what happens. Democrats say the ballot doesnt need to be dated (people forget). Republicans want to exclude as many mail in ballots as possible so are challenging.
We mailed multiple items to my dad over a few days via my mailbox with the flag up. He never received any of them. Between postal workers who aren’t 100% and people driving around getting other people’s mail…I’d mail only at the post office, or just vote in person.
