how to audit your own polling place.

i posted in this thread about rat fucker rove-https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214383595
but it wasnt understood. so-

at the end of the night, part of closing is to post one of the poll tapes in a place where it can be seen by the public.
i dont know if this is the law in all 50 states, but the ones i know of, it is.

unless the tabulators themselves are hacked, this is an honest count.
most results these days are then transmitted by wifi to the board of elections.
this is where the ratfuckery happens.

if we the people made a practice of checking those poll tapes, and comparing them to the reported totals, that crap could not fly.

most local parties collect the tapes from their poll watchers. they used to do it to tally results night of, but these days they get stuffed in an envelope while folks watch the results on the teevee.

if you are a poll watcher, get a tape for yourself.
if you are a judge, get a tape for yourself.
if your local party gets tapes, check against reported totals.

but any of us can go snap a pic, or even just write down the numbers, and compare to the boe numbers.

there are audits, allegedly random, after elections to make sure that the actual ballots match the reported totals, but....

watch them this time, and they will think twice in future.
