It looks like they aren't anonymous?!
- StavrosK 6y agoHopefully they mean this happens before voting? This is outrageous if not.
- anamexis 6y agoI participated in an NLRB election about 10 years ago, and I believe the name was on the ballot envelope, so the count happened in two stages. First, go through all of the envelopes, reading the names, and either side can contest ballots, which are set aside. Then, the uncontested ballots are removed from the envelopes and counted. If the vote margin is less than the number of contested ballots, that kicks off some kind of remediation process.
- Ericson2314 6y agoOh good, that sounds nice. And how did the vote go?

- Ericson2314 6y agoaye....classic.
