Election day vote tampering and what you can do about it.

I no longer need to get out of bed at 4:30 AM on Election Day to get the voting booths set up and not get back to bed until 2:00 AM the next day. 

It takes a lot of effort and training by volunteers working extraordinarily long days to allow Americans to exercise their right to vote. 

The thought that some dude in St. Petersburg Russia can alter elections electronically is infuriating.

In Chester County, PA we use voter marked and machine scanned tabulation. About the most secure vote tabulation used in the United States. A print out of the results that looks like a receipt from a store is posted at the polling places where it can be read from the outside. It might be a good idea to photograph that print out with your phone. 

If an election result in Chester County is in dispute the original voter marked paper ballots can be hand counted.


A national expert just explained how you can keep an eye on election integrity during the midterms
