* Lemme get this straight. You mean to tell me that the same people who believe all votes should be counted by hand are totally freaking out about how a few electronic ballot scanners might be down, so paper ballots have to be put into a secured box, just like in the old days? And so they are encouraging their fellow travelers not to vote? Hilarious…
Before you vote, confirm that the scanners are working.
If not, return another day.
DO NOT leave your ballots in a box or on a random counter.#Illinois #Election2024 #ElectionIntegrity https://t.co/YnPcq1TkEN

* Daily Herald…
The Cook County clerk’s office is allaying concerns about ballot counting after a scanner broke down temporarily Monday at a Schaumburg early voting site.
“Voting was not affected by the issue,” said Frank Herrera, the clerk’s director of communications. “As is protocol when there is an issue with the ballot scanner, all ballots are placed in the Alternate Ballot Box — a locked box within the VSC (Voter Supply Carrier) where ballots are stored — until the scanner can be fixed.” […]
After an issue like Monday’s occurs, once the scanner is repaired, the Alternate Ballot Box is unlocked and all the ballots inside are fed through the scanner by the team of election judges. There is at least one judge of each political party present for this.

The fact the same folks who feel government is grossly incompetent think the same government is able to be able to engage in a vast conspiracy involving Schaumburg.

No thanks, I have several kicks to the crotch scheduled for this afternoon that sounds far more preferable.

The conspiratorial republican’t
blockheads are giving me a headache.
When Sheba and I voted early, by the time we could have found out the scanners were broken, was after we had received and marked our ballots.
I am sure the local election officials have a written process for what to do for every contingency to ensure a fair and secure election and ballot counting process.

Years ago, I served as a precinct election judge.
This was back in the days when every precinct had to have precinct binders containing the actual voter registration cards. Voting was still done using punch cards.
It never failed that if one item was out of place an irate voter would raise hell for being inconvenienced for two minutes. Few had any concept of how much work it took to set up a polling place with the correct records. Similarly, there would always be a few persons knocking on the door after the polling place was closed at 7 pm.
I had one repeat complainer who would accuse the judges of disenfranchising her when we explained to her that she was in the wrong precinct polling place and needed to go to the park field house three blocks away. Before computerization, you could not cast a ballot in any polling place other than your home precinct.

Reads like they’re auditioning for a guest-spot on Newsmax.
