The ballot box is stored in a secure building.
Are the Union or Amazon going to break into the offices of a federal agency to deposit fake votes or otherwise tamper with the ballot box?
Doesn’t the security of the building contribute to the security of the ballot?
- nine_k 6y agoThis assumes honesty of every agency's officer, and lack of negligence along the entire chain leading to the box. I want to believe, but an extra check won't hurt. Whether the extra check offered by Amazon may be seen as impartial is another question.
- manicdee 6y agoA camera controlled by the government department isn't going to protect the ballot box from malfeasance on the part of the government department. At some point you need to trust someone. I think it's reasonable to trust a government department with no history of questionable conduct.
