What prevents corrupt poll workers from voting for people that didn't show up on election day?

The tallies will all match. Is there another measure that prevents poll worker fraud (aside from observers)?

I'm not asking a rhetorical question, as this is the real flaw in many of our voting systems. If Georgia has addressed it, I would be interesting in how they do it.

Simple question: Does it or does it not work?

This is why the poll workers and watchers are multi-partisan. The R workers watch the D workers, and vice versa.

No system is perfect, but Georgia’s is rational, has backup to the electronic, and is designed to ensure a fair election.

If any party finds a way around the system, then adjustments will have to be made (after the perp gets ‘adjusted’).

Besides the signature on the piece of paper (which would be harder to fake if you have dozens or more filled out by the same person), i BELIEVE INFO FROM THE PHOTO id THAT MUST BE PRESENTED (E.G. Driver's License #) also is recorded, at least the type of photo ID. This isn't Wisconsin, where people were using store fliers addressed to occupant for ID. As someone else noted, there should be folks from both parties. If traffic is light, and the Republican watcher is a shill (or absent), then it can be faked, but so can any other system, including paper ballots.

Precisely! Just look at the list of voters who didn’t show, and vote them in. The system has so many holes. We need Iraqis and their system here to do it right!
