Reply #95: BUT DO THEY INTEND TO PUSH TO COUNT THE BALLOTS?

[Carolab]

I don't see how "audit capability" solves the problem!

We need to be able to count the ballots, and count the actual VOTES, at the precinct level, IMMEDIATELY after the election, to ensure that the "machine counts" match the actual results! The machine counts for the votes can still be switched and no one will know unless the ballots are reconciled to the tapes/printouts produced by each machine! Even if the voter verifies their ballot, how do we know, for sure, that the machine is accurately recording those votes, unless we inspect/count each vote on the ballot and reconcile it to the printout/tape AND to the pollbooks?
