In reply to the discussion: Official Vote Tally on Ohio's Pot Issue Deemed "Statistically Impossible" [View all]JohnnyRingo
(18,775 posts)54. I didn't want to argue that poll workers are "thrown".
I don't know how experienced your precinct workers are, but certainly the precinct captain is well aware of how to handle a paper ballot. It's not a too difficult procedure.
Perhaps they consulted one another because such a ballot has to be dealt with by a worker from each party and properly recorded and accounted for in the books. That may have given the mistaken impression that they were somehow overwhelmed by your request.

OP
That is a typical sample size and it had a margin of error of less than 5%. So it makes no sense

While I'm fine with the way it turned out, I welcome any investigation into Ohio voting.
