Since states have different procedures and parties treat things differently in each state.

im messing

Virginia

it was two party primary

scanner drops ballots into a cabinet and at the end of the voting period, we collect the paper

scanner then prints multiple receipts recording the votes

So really it's more of an automated vote counter.

and to my knowledge there is no known way to hack these scanners compared to the electric booths

yea

it detects errors too

like when people mark the ballot wrong it doesnt count it

yeah if ppl incorrectly fill out the ballot lol

liek how do you do that outside of doing it purposefully as a protest vote

People are going to incorrectly fill out anything tho

iirc if it goes unfilled it doesnt count those either

usually they clearly state, fill out the fuckign dot , dont check it, dont X it just shade it in

yea

they have instructions

people still fuck it up

we had 2 people invalidate their votes i think

due to marking mistakes

and once you fuck up thats it iirc

no second try

although dont quote me i dont remember exactly

yeah i helped with a municipal election here and we used a similar system

Regarding the ID thing, I def see its merits, especially from experience as a poll worker but I also think that if only citizens can register to vote in the first place then what's the point, outside of ID theft

The assumption that "lefties" make about minorities regarding them does kinda irk me though

soft bigotry of low expectations and all

yeah tbh if anyone knows of a loophole where they can exploit and fraud some id for their vote, they will

oh def

alot fo work though but some must see it as worthy

Id have to see how a place that doesnt have voter IDs do it tbh

i only have one side atm

I think the usual argument for Voter IDs comes with verifying that the election records are consistent with the person claiming to vote.

You can probably find a way around it if you work hard enough, but it's another hurdle to commit fraud.

@Timcast any updates on that crowdpac story you did a while ago

shh hes recording videos now shhhh

He never turns off discord notifications when recording and I always think I’m getting a message when I hear it in his videos lol.

LOL yeah hahaha i always turn mine off so i always know its his 😛

i wonder if theres a problem with YT letting him upload his vids cuz teh last one was like 50 mins ago

that or its a long vid 😃

Still i want to hear how that goes because isn't it meddling in election if they bann one party from earning monies
