You're welcome.
Me and my peeps did the yeoman work to both protect the secret ballot and ensure end-to-end auditability.
If every jurisdiction nationwide adopted the rules, procedures, and operations used by King County Elections, we'd be in good shape.
But they won't.
- spenczar5 6y agoWhy not? I am curious to know more - is it expensive or difficult to implement? Couldn’t other jurisdictions copy King County’s system?
- specialist 6y agoElection administration is chronically underfunded. A lot of people have some very funny ideas about how to conduct elections. For examples: Should ballots be required to be received or postmarked by Election Day to be accepted? (Correct answer is postmarked.) If a voter makes a mistake, how does it get corrected? Some jurisdictions just toss any ballot with any mistake. What are the standards for signature verification? What happens if the admins identify a mismatch? Sadly, the minutia goes on and on.
