That’s what I’ve been saying all along. You never know it your ballot makes it into the count.
Maybe each ballot can be serial numbered (absentee and at the polling place) and a list posted online showing each serial number that was counted so people could look up their number. Possibly even include the voting specifics of each serial number since there wouldn’t be an online connection to any particular voter’s personal info.
Sure, that’s just a raw concept that needs plenty of fine-tuning to counteract the demorat shenanigans, but anything that reduces fraud is a net positive.
