Let's say you think this past election was rigged.

161. So... what machines retain scanned ballot images rather than actual ballots? What are the machines called?

What states use them?
Are tabulators the same as vote scanning machines?
Do tabulators use scanned ballot images?

The public in general, and voters in each state ought to know
1) the chain of custody of ballots, from voter to certification;
2) if ballots are scanned, what percentage;
3) what machines do ballot scanning (if scanning is done), and how, where, and by whom; then finally,
4) the final destinations of all scanned ballot images and the final destination of all ballots filled out by voters, whatever form they take.

I've seen no maps of any chain of custody sequence.
There is no chain of custody made transparent to the voting public, from a voting precinct to the Sec of State's Board of Elections.
Neither does anyone see any named election person in charge of each stage of any state's vote ballot chain of custody.

None of the above are discussed on this site of the US Election Assistance Commission.
