All the more reason to take a liberal to the range today. I have many young families living near me, and I've done it as much as they will allow.

Re: Midterm Election
Yes, this is what we use in Harris County. The ‘selection and printing’ machine just helps you fill your ballot in a format that can be read by the actual ‘voting’ machine.philip964 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 9:24 pmThat’s been the standard in Harris County for a while.LTUME1978 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 8:13 pm Voted today (Brazoria County). The voting machines looked almost the same but when I signed in to vote, they gave me a full size piece of paper to insert into the voting machine. Once I made my selections, the voting machine printed all of them on the piece of paper. I had to take the piece of paper to another station where my the piece of paper was inserted into different machine and the votes were recorded. The piece of paper stayed in the second machine. I did check to see if everything on the paper was correct before inserting it into the second machine.
Is anyone else experiencing this process? This was new for Brazoria County.
Printed original for you to review. Then scanned for tabulating, then paper original locked away as a record for an audit. Seems pretty foolproof.
Not sure where the counting occurs during scan or initial printing, I assumed during scanning since you can review it. May be counted twice as an audit.
When you insert the printed ballot into the scanner, it tabulates your vote and saves the printed paper for manual recount purposes, if needed later.
The entire system is air-gapped, which means they are not connected to the internet.
At the end of the day, I pull the scanning machine, the ballots, and the iPad e-poll books and return them in person to the county.
Overall, pretty secure at my site. God only knows what they do to it after I drop it off.

Adding to the above comment:
If y’all on west side of Houston want to be 100% sure that your polling judge is carrying, come on down to my precinct! PM me for details.

Re: Midterm Election
I am an election judge here in Harris County. I agree with you on the suggestion to vote on Election Day. I do, mainly so I (as presiding judge) can carry while voting, but also agree that the time frame available for any shenanigans is shorter, which may reduce the probability and/or impact thereof.extremist wrote: ↑Mon Oct 24, 2022 10:49 am Unless you absolutely cannot get to the polls on Election Day, I would encourage voting ON Election Day. Makes it harder to cheat and change votes from early voting.
Also check and question any Wi-Fi hotspots at your polling location for suspicious WAPs. There shouldn't be any and if there are, you should bring it to the attention of the precinct officials and question it.
In every polling location in Harris County there WILL be a odd hotspot. I know this to be true because I set it up. Our polling machines are air-gapped (no connectivity), but our e-poll books are iPads, and are connected to check voter status (and to ensure that voter has not already voted 20 minutes ago just down the street).
