At least in Washington there is a 1:1 mapping between your registered address and the envelope send your ballot in (I don't believe its to the ballot itself but I could be wrong). Once you send in your ballot you can verify on the county voting site that your ballot has been counted. I'm guessing this is the main way they check that fraudulent ballots aren't being submitted as you would then have > 1:1 mapping in many cases.
- jandrese 10y agoThat makes sense, but has anyone verified that the check is being performed?
- r00fus 10y agoAnd that's the problem with US elections - I would love to see a public showing (instead of the incessant back and forth) after the election of a good old review/audit of the election process. Even if it's only a few who participate/watch, knowing the process is audited would make me a lot more invested in it.
- specialist 10y agoYes. Ballot tracking enables the ballot chasing (GOTV) that every one hates.
