Okay, so this is more detailed about the procedure, but I’m still lost about whose names are on these ballots. Are they just dead people? As I asked in another thread, you can’t just make completely fictitious voters, can you? So you put a bunch of people in a room to fill out ballots all day long. But whose names are on these ballots?

DID YOU VOTE ? Reason I ask is because the ballots DO NOT have the VOTER'S NAME on them. The only thing on the ballots besides the candidates names are the initials of the 'officials' (as a verification that this is a valid ballot).

okay now we are getting somewhere!

I knew I needed help here but I wasn’t sure what I was doing wrong; Even after you asked that question, my initial response was to think “No, my ballot had my name on it. It came with a sticker label pre-printed”

But now that I think about it, that wasn’t on the ballot itself, was it. I’m a little bit hazy on this fact, but if true, it’s an amazing point and I wonder if I’m the only one who needs this fact pointed out to them.

So if ballots themselves are not distinguishable, we have no way to audit the system and the results. There is no way to go back and look at ballots themselves and validate their authenticity.
