Reply #9: i'm a precinct poll worker

but at least in my area, we don't tally up the votes. we just make sure the voting procedures are followed (only registered voters get a ballot), and keep track of the number of ballots submitted. at the end of the day, we ship the ballots to election central, where they're counted by an optical scan machine.

still plenty of room for shenanigans, outside the scope of my duties.
