Ricofoley Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 One person, one vote, on paper ballots that get fed into a scantron machine and then hand-counted if it's close. Anything more complicated than that is some combination of dumb and malicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signifyin(g)Monkey Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Sanders had the largest contingent of loud and obnoxious voters at my precinct by far. I threw a guy into a rage just by asking him to give me a coherent definition of socialism that didn’t just amount to social democratic capitalism with a beefier welfare state. Maybe kind of an abrasive question on my part (though I tried to ask it in a civil tone) but jeez. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricofoley Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 The longer this goes on, the more people are just going to outright not believe the results when they come out, regardless of what they say. Everybody's been primed with 4+ years of Russian hacking talk leading up to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be the case in some places for sure, but I believe they actual have an paper sheet they tabulate on, in addition to the preference cards they can recount.

CitizenVectron Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I know I rag on stuff a lot here by just listing stuff Canada does...but: Have a single paper ballot per person Put in a box (with two witnesses) Count each box with one employee and a witness for each camp Report results on a list at precinct, which is then directly passed to the state, each party's HQ, and media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 LMAO, a precinct chair was on hold for over an hour with the IDP to give results, CNN gets him on another line to interview him, the IDP finally answers his call and hangs up on him before he can switch over and report the numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
