Reply #27: Here's how it's suppose to work in FL

[DoYouEverWonder]

The Friday before the election, the canvasing board certifies the ballots. This is usually approved based on staff recommendations, that they checked all the ballots and that they are valid.

Then the staff starts feeding them into the scanners in OS counties. (I don't know about touch screen counties.} This batch of absentee ballots is read first, prior to election day. On election day the totals that are posted include the certified absentee ballots that had been received up to that point.

MY SOE said that most of the overseas ballots came in time this year. Two changes helped that situation, the military folks could snail mail, email or fax in their ballots. This also made it much more difficult to ever know how the military vote went. Their ballots would have been counted in with all of the other absentee ballots.

The place to look for fraud would be in the people who are on staff. I bet it would be easy to infiltrate this area with GOP operatives.

PS: I'll post those numbers later this afternoon.
