Something Is Sour In Tennessee -- And It's Not The Whiskey (Aftyn Behn)

[reACTIONary]

23. Shelbe Co. uses paper ballots, so...

.... what is the problem?

Next Logic and Accuracy Testing begins. This is the process to make certain that voter choices are being accurately recorded and tabulated. It is performed by SCEC staff in bi-partisan teams. Test decks are then created, which includes at least one ballot of every type, and the sufficient numbers of ballots, so each candidate can receive a unique number of votes. We include at least one write-in vote for every race and include under- and over-voted ballots to make sure the equipment handles these special situations correctly. This test deck is tallied by hand. Then it used for test voting on an Early Voting machine.

Finally, the test deck is scanned by the paper optical scanning machine.

All three counts are compared and must match. The test deck is printed on pink ballot stock and each ballot is clearly stamped “Test Deck – Do Not Count,” eliminating the possibility that the test ballots could be counted on Election Night.
