When can we start getting results? I know it is super early but like 46% of NC voted early so wouldn't those votes be available to be tabulated early?

I was a bit confused about this too but not for the machine itself. Because as pac said it seems very secure. However the lady was so old and was signing people in like 5 at a time it seemed and the line I thought got out of order so I have no idea if my vote was attributed to me or someone else. Oh well.

votes and voters are not linked at any time.

This is correct.

This was poorly worded. What I should have said was I'm not entirely sure who seemed to be running things because it seemed like I could have easily gone in and voted again. There was no organization provided by any of the poll workers.

dont start coming in until polls close in said state

i called the number Richmond posted. They said there isn't much they can do but they'll keep me on file in case they hear anything else from that location.

Pretty sure they don't get counted until polls close. Looking into it.

EDIT: Didn't find anything. I could have sworn I read an article about it a week ago, but my Google Fu is weak.

didn't you sign a little book? if you signed the book it'd be hard to vote again

i was thinking it'd be pretty easy to just walk up and into a machine and keep voting. The lady was just like "you signed? alright, this one is empty!"

My voting place is behind the times I guess. Just a piece of paper where you bubble in your choice then drop it into the machine (shredder?). Easy peasy. Probably to accommodate all the old people. I was the youngest there by like 40 years I think.

There were probably 30 people ahead of me in line at 7am. Nobody really after I walked out. This is actually the first time I've gone to an actual place to vote. (And only the second time voting ever)

That's more what I was saying. Our table had 2 ladies working M-Z and 1 old lady doing A-L and I signed the A-L book, got into the line, the booth appeared to be open but there was no poll worker to be found and she had run off somewhere else for 60 seconds then came back. She told me to go in and she had re-set it but she disappeared again after doing the re-set for me so I'm not sure what would have stopped me from just slipping back in and saying "woops don't think I went in yet". Nobody would have seen it except for the guy standing near me.

Guess I just miss the old Chester County days of getting the manila folder/Scantron style sheet and feeding it through the machine.

What I'm saying is I voted 6 times

They'll be on the lookout for patterns of complaints though. That's the important thing because what you described isn't a violation but merely problematic.

yeah. similar weirdness. felt like if the line was managed better it would have been fine. the end of the line wrapped around to the table where you sign in. so people walked in and were trying to sign in having no clue that there was a line of 100 people. the booths are right there too with the line basically crowded around them.

Number 71 for ward one/division one! Line was long but most of the people were from division two so I got in and out pretty quick.

I'm an L but I did ask if he thinks Hellickson will accept QO. He said "no way, he can't".

9:20 a.m.: The scene at one North Philadelphia polling place: A big crowd and, briefly, Trump supporters.

"It's the first time I saw a line of people voting at 7 a.m. for any election," said David Scott, 52, a local committee man at Richard R. Wright School at 28th and Dauphin Streets, the polling place for the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th divisions of the 28th Ward. Some time after 7 a.m., he said, a carload of men wearing white hats with "Trump" emblazoned on them stopped at the school.

"It was five or six guys who got out and looked at who was voting," Scott said. "There was no conversation, no confrontation. They just looked, then left."

i bet they talk big at the bar later tonight

at my precinct once you vote the poll worker has to reset the machine to take another vote
