Election Reform

Each precinct is manned by four workers, two from each party. We take the responsibility seriously and keep a close tab on vote count. The tally has to match in three different ways or workers stay until they find out why not.

After the machines are returned to the BOE by one worker from each party they are uploaded to the main database. The paper trail arrives separately in locked steel boxes with security tags and stored under lock & key for two years. If there's reason to suspect foul play, those printed tallies can be compared to the count on the corresponding machine. At that point any discrepancy can be tracked to the source because people sign off on every single thing they do. No one touches a machine without signing for it.

I don't know how anything can be more secure, certainly not the old punchcards or the older mechanical booths from the '50s & '60s.
