In reply to the discussion: California Democrats call for elimination of caucuses, most super-delegates [View all]Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts)How do you know, if you aren't present when they count the votes?
At a caucus, they count the hands of the people present at a precinct's caucus, and then turn in those tallies to the main office.
Volunteers verify the counts in each precinct, so the totals sent in to the main office are officially accurate.
Using electronic voting machines, dedicated purpose computers, that can be altered with a cheap smart phone doesn't sound like progress to me.
Unless you think the other candidate doesn't own a smart phone, and then I can understand why displaying that level of ignorance seems like just using common sense.
However, you don't even get a receipt when you vote electronically like you would if you used an ATM.
Nevertheless, just getting a receipt from your act of voting isn't going to guarantee your vote is counted, either.
So, go back to using electronic voting machines if you want to, California, because as everyone knows, nothing can go wrong when you use a computer, nothing can go wrong when you use a computer, nothing can go wrong when you use a computer.
