I had quite the experience this morning at the voting site. First, they insisted we were required to use a fine point felt tip pen. When I refused, I made a mark in the top margin with the "required" pen, turned it over and held it up to the light and showed them how it showed through on the other side. They said, well you'll have to vote on a questioned ballot then, which I also refused.
Then on the state voting, which is ranked choice, I voted for the same candidate all the way across the choices. The Dominion machine refused it and flashed a "duplicate vote" light. I had to press a bright green button with CAST on it to get it to take my ballot.
In all fairness, I don't think the local officials have any idea that any of this is wrong. But BEWARE - they are cheating every way they can!
I immediately filed a complaint with True the Vote, and my next note will be to my state reps.
Reminder - bring your own BLUE ball-point pens.
Jovan Pulitzer said that, in a forensic audit, blue ink makes it easier to pick out genuine votes versus computer-filled-in "votes" because the voting machines can't print blue and computer-filled-in black circles stick out when the rest of the ballot was voted in blue.
God bless you
nice work!
There was both a felt tip and a blue regular pen in my booth. I didn't even think about doing anything about the felt and used the blue pen. Ugh.. I'm a dummy.
I also had to press the cast vote button. The lady seemed alarmed.. "Are you sure?!" "Yes, I dont want anyone else filling in my empty circles".
