Once ballots are opened and counted the envelope is no longer kept with ballot. If they still have envelopes they can compare to book, but not attach it to a ballot. Recount will show if they were any were counted multiple times. I am missing something or they are grasping at non-existent straws.
because no one voted in person.
think.
you are right they need to match envelope signatures to register book signatures..
The time to watch - and challenge - is when the votes are first counted. Recounts verify the accuracy of the original count. Likely in a very close race, the registrar will have done a recount and made sure the last posting reflects any corrections to previous count, thus the recount will not show a change.
I agree.
If the Dominion software had deleted or transfered votes, this too will be negated.
I am assuming this is a PURE hand count __ no utilization of the Dominion software.
> Once ballots are opened and counted the envelope is no longer kept with ballot.
is this according to law?
if this is true then the a part of the voting process cannot be audited and validated. if the counted ballots so processed are not segregated, the larger ballot pile is spoiled, otherwise the mail in ballot pile is spoiled. imho.
i see that georgia (among other states) has a “notice and cure” law, at least according to this forbes article
however, i wonder what if any safeguards are in place if there is an unlimited supply of blank ballots made available through illicit means to so-called voting factories. if the ballot signature match is only loosely administered during the initial ballot counts at the county level, and the ballot envelopes are discarded, and there is no multi-partisan observation, and no videotaping of the county level ballot counting, then the potential exists for single ballot counters to look at the ballot and arbitrarily to discriminate for or against a particular candidate based on the ballot vote itself (duh), without risk of being audited later.
an audit-deficient or audit-poor process precludes an accurate recount of whatever pile to which each ballot belongs, spoiling that ballot pile.
if all the ballots are thrown together into a larger pile (such as a mixed pile of ballots that include both in person and mail in ballots), then all the ballots in that larger pile become spoiled.
(i wonder how serious the georgia problem is, from this perspective, presuming it is an reasonably accurate rendition of the current georgia ballot situation...)
The signature envelopes have been shredded there is no longer any evidence unless they can prove that the voting sheets were counterfeit.
