About Those Bullet Ballots

[DiamondShark]

202. We have laws in place for that.

We followed strict laws, statues, and guidelines when I worked at my local County Election Department. I don't know who is telling you your local government IT Department and County Elections Department that oversee the election in your county is corrupt. Voting machines, Tabulators, Ballot scanners, Ballot printers, etc are all configured with strict protocols to minimize errors. I won't give details on how the machines were programmed for each race. That wasn't my job. My job was working with a team to install the software, clean the scanners, clean the printers, etc. Two or more teams worked to install the software, then another team would check your work. We are a big county, so we had those options available.

There have been a few reports of scanners flipping votes in Pennsylvania. The reason they caught those errors? The did a spot check, a hand count, to verify the count was correct in each race. We do that to confirm the scanner is working correctly before zeroing out and running again. This is done by a different group.

There was a report of a scanner that wasn't zeroed out, how did they catch that you ask? Working as a team, and two or more people verifying the count. On top of that, we have poll watchers and lawyers making sure the public workers are following the laws, statues, and guidelines for doing their jobs.

How did the public learn about these things? Whistleblower laws and mandatory reporting.
