Reply #28: I don't want to scare y'all but READ THIS... [View All]

I am a pollworker in Pennsylvania. At the training class on how to use the paperless ES&S iVotronics we are getting, we were taught to do this with absentee ballots (which used to be hand counted and hand recorded at the precinct.)

Check them in, then open the outer envelopes and mix the secrecy envelopes as usual. Then open the secrecy envelope, and with two other pollworkers watching, VOTE THE BALLOT ONTO THE IVOTRONIC. That's right. I, as a pollworker, will have to enter YOUR vote onto a paperless machine. It will NOT be hand counted and the blasted machine will get your vote anyway.

Scares the H out me me too.

Again, this is Pennsylvania. Your mileage and practices may vary.
