1. Breakdown:

15. How do they know the race of the voters?

I’ve never given that to my Board of Registration, and it’s not indicated on my card.

[Ilsa]

17. Might be related to name or address.

Certain areas of Gwinnett are very Korean, etc.

And surnames like Lee or Park might be assumed to be Asian, whereas a last name of King or Washington might be assumed to be Black.

Aside from that, I do not know.

[SCantiGOP]

21. I agree with you

Makes me question the validity of the info.

2. this is my county and I mailed mine the other day. I just checked it the

my voter page and it says mine was accepted. I hope they count it.

4. Share how you verified your mail in vote was counted.....

We don't have that in AZ...pray tell..I would like to suggest this to our SOS....and if AZ has this "my voter page" - would like info.....

[jezebel321]

5. we have something here called my voter page. It's the same page I used to

request the absentee ballot. You can log in with your name, DOB, and county and it shows the status of your absentee ballot. Initially it showed the date I requested it, then the date it was sent to me. Now it shows the date they received it back and for status it shows "accepted".

This is my first time voting absentee this year ( I have 4 little kids and was worried I wouldn't be able to stay in a line election day), it honestly couldn't be easier. I was impressed.

8. Well - I did some research for AZ....indeed..we have a "track your ballot" for

early voting..I wonder if it works for mail in ballots..I haven't received my ballot yet..I am on a PEVL..Permanent Elections Voter List..they mail a ballot..I fill it out - VOTE - and then mail it back...

I will have to TRACK MY BALLOT when I mail it in...

Thank you so much...

10. BTW - You should create an OP for your voting info..in this county....

For those in other states as well, to track their vote..VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION....

16. Here in CO, we have something called Ballot Trace

They are activated as soon as the mail goes out, emails you the status of the ballot (if it's on the way to you, delivered, or sent back and accepted). It's a nice feature to have to track your ballots.

It hasn't been activated yet, but we are voting by mail soon.

11. Cha..look at comment #5..very important info...I think it should have its own OP or

at the very least kicked to Greatest Threads.....the poster appears to be new...I suggested they do that...like me, when I was new - I didn't know how.....just an FYI -

STORM THE BASTILLE>>Indeed...

[Cha]

14. Thank You for suggesting she make an OP

to inform how she found out her vote was accepted.

9. they know they can't win a fair election

They lie, cheat, and steal because they know they have no hope otherwise. This is why they feverishly pack courts.

22. Reconstruction was ended about 100 years too early.

[Turbineguy]

23. They need election supervision

just like those shithole countries trump talks about.

[SCVDem]

24. I say we ask Jimmy Carter!

He has done election watches in many countries.

Who would have thought that America was just another Banana Republic when it comes to voting?

25. Blue States should start rejecting ballots in their republican districts

[kacekwl]

26. Every damn election we have to endure this shit.

Where is Jeff Sessions calling for immediate investigation. Where is the Democratic party calling for immediate investigations. Come on , when will this stop ?

27. Georgia's been rigging elections for the longest time. Sen. Max Cleland

was an incumbent Democrat(wounded war vet) who had a puzzling loss to Saxby Chambliss in the early 2000s.

[calimary]

28. At least this stuff is coming out into the open.
