Of course, my mind goes in conspiratorial directions. But my family of 4 all went to breakfast then voted. We were each given a tiny sticky note with the number "003" on it. We all finish voting about the same time. There are two machines clearly branded "DOMINION" that we feed our ballot into. As I'm waiting for my family I realize, we're all putting ours into the same machine. The gentlemen at the machine is collecting everyone's stickies (2 others) and says, "Yours go in THIS machine". I'm just curious what the reason for the division of ballots is for.....

When you entered the polling station how were you given your ballots? What’s the procedure to qualify to get a ballot? Do you get a piece of paper on entry before you go to a ballot table?
Did you all go to the same person to get processed? Also how many poll workers were checking in voters? Depending on who you went to might have determined the machine you put your ballot into
Is it possible the machine you fed your ballot into is for your precinct only? Different precincts will have different ballot styles And could that be the reason there were two separate scanners?
As a poll worker in my area we only have one scanner that one puts their ballot into. However, in my county we have at least 36 different ballot styles. When a voter enters we look them up in the data base (lap top) which prints out an ATV (Authorization to vote) form if they are registered and able to vote.
Then they go to the ballot table. Ballot table poll workers locate the ballot number from the ATV form then hand scan both the ATV form and ballot to make sure it’s the correct ballot for that voter’s precinct. Then poll workers write the number (includes which printer it came from on the ballot) before handing it to the voter to vote. After voting on ballot voter takes to the one ballot drop machine scanner.
