That information is based on exit polling, not the actual ballots.
Anyway, there has got to be a way for a voter to see how their vote was counted.
The problem is, pretty much any way that would allow a voter to see how their particular vote was counted would allow anyone else to see how that voter's particular vote was counted. Which would open the door to massive voter intimidation and coercion.
Up until this election this was the procedure. Get in line behind A-F or G-N or O-Z. give the worker your name, they look it up in the Big Book. You sign a honesty clause, the worker gives you a ballot WITH a Unique number. THat ballot is assigned to you.They post that ballot number in the Big Book.
They can't tell how I've voted? Uhh, yes.
Exit polls are used election night but 3 months from now they can give us exact figures. All nice and wrapped up with a bow.
I voted early this year and the procedure was a little different.
Gave the worker my name , he looked me up on a laptop. Verified my address, etc. Gave me a 'permission slip' to take to a different table to collect the proper ballot.
Filled in the circle next to my choice, stuck the ballot in a reader. It swallowed the ballot and counted my choices who knows how. No indication for me as to the honesty of the count.
Oh, the reader gives a running total of the ballots run through it. Couldn't that number be used by a voter to see their ballot an how it was counted?
