Comey: "... voter registration rolls were a focus of Russian penetration ... "

Question: Can the vote count if the person is not on the rolls or will the person just be turned away?

Thx in advance

1. Depends. Usually get a provisional ballot which is pretty much useless.

3. It varies from state to state

In some cases, you can same-day register and cast a provisional ballot. In others you wouldn't be able to vote (and anywhere in between)

5. Sounds like provisionals are useless in a number of states which means the persons vote didn't count

... even if they did.

shit... fuckers, a lot of those voter registrations were private companies too

4. I used to work for the elections board.

In Election Day, when you show up at the poll for your polling district, you give your name and they check to see if you are registered in the book. Then you sign the book. Then you vote.
No registration, or they do not have your name on the rolls of voters, you do not vote in that polling place. You may or may not get a provisional ballot.

6. Sounds like they only have to turn away a certain percentage of people to keep things quite

7. Some people I know in Michigan did not receive their absentee ballots at all

And they are registered Democrats (who live part of the year in Florida). Nothing they could do about it; it was too late.

8. I think the election tallying apparatus was penetrated

but changing election results turned out to be not needed.

9. Doubt this could happen, but let's say the ru$$ians ADDED names to the roster and then

thru manipulation, these new additions voted?

Is that possible? Like on the close states?

10. Voting patterns.

I've tried and my daughter has tried to remove her from the voter rolls in my county, but she's still getting reminders for early voting dates and even reminders to get her absentee ballots - even though she doesn't live in this state, nor has any residency info. If someone were devious enough, they could figure out who has dual residency and just make an educated guess as to which state was valid, and which one is hanging on in the old precinct.

11. Early voting/absentee

I would think that the easiest targets would be absentee ballots and early voting....

If a list of eligible voters could be altered to include extra names... and absentee ballots corresponding to those names are submitted... no one would be the wiser


Also, if extra names could be added and voter registration cards to match.... early voting would be the prime time to cast those ballots... since (at least where I live) you can vote at any location during the early voting period...

Or
If you hacked a DMV database in a state where you can auto register to vote when getting a driver's license /ID..... you could find the back door into the voter rolls .....

12. This is one of the key ways that KGOP stole it

How they stole the presidency and the Senate majority and many many House seats. The whole freaking Republican regime is illegitimate
