Yes indeed. They even let me take a photo of my ballot and the screen after I insert it and it is logged.
Yeah, it's pretty laid back at my precinct too. We don't have actual "booths" there's maybe 2 tables set up with cardboard partitions on the tabletop for about 3-4 people, but the rest of the round tables are open with maybe 6+ chairs around them where people just sit and do their ballots without any privacy, then go put ballots in the machines.
You just described my precinct. ๐ Alabama is pretty legit. We only really have Birmingham and Montgomery to worry about........
Good thing we're a broke state and can't afford the gimme-dats and the food pellets. Keeps the grift moving along........to Atlanta.
Lol. Are you in the south end, middle or north end? I'm in the southern part, and you are right about Birmingham & Montgomery areas. May I ask if you voted on the amendments? I was wondering about number 6, do they plan on adding a ad valorem tax onto our property to use instead of loans to pay for construction projects? Or are these property taxes already being taken out of our properties that they will use for projects? I swear some of the wording they use is confusing.
After further review, this is a bad idea. Basically using public funds illegally for what they were never meant to be collected for.
They used my property tax (just like this one, almost identical) in Cobb County, GA to fund their new stadium. Totally illegal. Never addressed.
Its just another tax, with the promise of mis-appropriated use.
In all honesty, I didnt vote on this because I didn't understand the issue, nor their explanation.
Its also the first time I heard of it, and I really try to stay abreast. So, since I never heard of it til today, at the booth, I considered it a bombardment, which I don't do, so I backed away.
Voted no on all of them. Replace the constitution with โthe same but betterโ? Nope. New taxes for tl;dr? Nope. Give government control of private property (private sewer or some such)? nope. Delay stays of executions until victims families can be notified? Nope, grant the stay first, then notify.
You live in Missouri too?๐ค๐๐
No, I'm in Alabama. ๐
Everything should be transparent
I agree. I was having this convo with my lady yesterday, starting out talking about OpenSource, how it is the key to everything. Not just software, but everything in life. Ultimately we decided that what we were truly talking about, was ubiquitous transparency.
Its the (Earthly) answer to all of our problems.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
I agree. Dark to light.
