Goodness - I was in the process of whining about us losing every motion in AZ. As I typed it, the judge denied the TRO. I am quite surprised.
Now, we need to win the blocking of policies and procedures release on appeal.

If you watch the vote counters, you'll see that the system makes it very difficult to sabotage. They have 5 people on a crew. One loads the ballot onto a ballot holder. The table rotates past 3 counters. Each counter seems to call out their observed voter-intent. The table reaches the fifth team member who offloads the ballot. This team member seems to call out his observation. I have seen a number of ballots go for a second loop and a couple where the third loop resulted in a team member in a black or orange shirt coming to observe.
I am convinced that certain key people have undergone more thorough background check than others. The strategic distribution of these key people would result in two things - attempts to bias the process would fail and the mole would be quickly exposed.
One correction here:
"Each counter seems to call out their observed voter-intent."
They mark it on a tally sheet. If they're calling it out, that's technically illegal (because then people would get influenced by what you're saying).
They check to make sure all the tallies match after a certain number of ballots. If the tallies don't match, they investigate.
Very good correction. thank you
