Election Inspector

Who actually handles the final tally of votes? Is it an independent accounting company (like Ernst & Young), or is it done by poll employees like yourself?

Asked by brickbreak2012 about 13 years ago

The final tally is done back at the Board of Elections headquarters. It is done by permanent employees of the Board who are members of both parties. The poll workers are really just there for a day. We turn everything over to them.

Can voting be postponed due to inclement weather?

I'm not sure but I would guess that it would not since voting is a national event and not a local one. That I something I'd have to check with the Board of Elections.

Do you think we'll ever be able to vote online?

I really doubt it. As of right now I think technology isn't secure enough to insure a clean election with no fraud. Hackers would be able to get in and do a lot of harm to the election process. Also with smart phones, ipads and tablets, laptops, and so many people having multiple devices with different ip addresses, I see the potential of major voter fraud. Coming in in person, at least you have to present yourself and your signature to a real person who can verify your identity.

Do you agree? In the elections they need to serve coffee, doughnuts, with cream, water, and soda pop. They also need chairs in the voting booths. You can not go wrong with having more voting booths and giving them more privacy like full curtains. A thing to flip up or a button to alert staff instead of having to raise your hand for a long time. With the I voted stickers are amazing like awesome! They also need pamphlets that tell about each party, candidate, and issue. Right?
