Just looked up our ballots here in Oregon. Wife and I voted 10/28, and I hand-delivered ballots same day to the drop box at city hall

And how would that work? You'd have to open the envelope to know who the vote was for. Then you end up with a count of ballots received, but a different number from those tabulated. You would also end up with a voter database out of wack, with a different count of ballots cast, because that record is updated before the envelope is opened.
So what's to prevent finagling with the ballots received database? Integrity? Morals? A conscience? Those are in short supply these days with fanatical liberal zealots.

Yeah, cuz nobody knows how to secure database files, right?

That is why it is best you keep your money under your mattress, cut up credit cards and don't buy stocks.

I feel a bit lightheaded. Maybe you should drive.

So why can't Rick find any record of his vote?

It still hasn’t shown as “counted”. We follow up every year and have always been able to confirm them. It’s odd.

Granted, in this state our votes on candidates and ballot measures are generally “throwaways” as we’re so out of step with Oregon’s political majority - but this is really troubling. How is it that we’ve all become so backward? Everything now seems to pose a challenge in America. A bloody amoxycillin shortage? Are you kidding?!!

We are NOT progressing - that is objectively true.

Amoxicillin is apparently short because of all the illnesses going around among kids..

In other news... Adderall is also very short..because nearly everyone is dependent and dysfunctional these days ..

As far as I know - no one in Oregon that has voted is going to be shown as vote counted. Your vote was RECEIVED as was mine and MrsPNWests and about half a dozen other people I have asked to check. No one - repeat no one has had their page updated to say that their vote has been counted. The ballot envelops are checked for a valid signature, then the ballots are removed to be counted. Once the ballot was received that was it. You vote was tallied, same as mine and same as anyone elses.

If voting made a difference they would let us vote

Let's laugh

Yes, childhood illnesses are a thing we could not have foreseen after the start of school in September and we proceed to the colder, indoor Fall months. We’re blazing new ground here. :-/

Good grief. America is objectively WORSE at meeting even pedestrian tasks like counting votes and reporting outcomes on a timely basis, ensuring baby formula and tampons are in shelves, and manufacture of the VERY common “swiss army knife” of antibiotics is large demand EVERY October through March.

Who could possibly have known? I guess we’re back to Bugsy’s “crystal ball” baloney.

The last several election cycles showed our votes as counted. I know. We use this utility every cycle…err…back when American governance was capable of such things.

So what is your point - they got rid of the old security envelopes and used the outer envelopes for the same purpose - are you claiming that they did something wrong.

The fact is that you just want to whine - if they had said that they knew that your vote was counted you'd call it crooked because it would have enabled them to connect your vote with your name, ie - they'd know how you voted.

You republicans had no problem with mail in voting until you needed a scapegoat for why you lose elections.

Ugh...ok...


Has it become more or less pedestrian to count votes these days then that time when we were hanging on Chads for weeks on end...

Those were the days of efficiency huh?
