Poll question: My Vote Was Counted As Cast?

The bedrock of our democracy is the peoples' vote.

Well, it seems some of our votes may have been stolen.

Do you know if your vote is counted as cast?

2. When Washington had actual polling places, yes

I filled out my scantron ballot, took it to a machine, slipped it into a slot, and watched the digital counter of "Ballots counted" increment by one.

Now, Washington has an all-mail system. I drop my filled-in ballot into a mailbox, and the rest is pure speculation.

3. OHIO 2004: 6.15% Kerry-Bush vote-switch found in probability study

Defining the vote outcome probabilities of wrong-precinct voting has revealed, in a sample of 166,953 votes (1/34th of the Ohio vote), the Kerry-Bush margin changes 6.15% when the population is sorted by probable outcomes of wrong-precinct voting.

The Kerry to Bush 6.15% vote-switch differential is seen when the large sample is sorted by probability a Kerry wrong-precinct vote counts for Bush. When the same large voter sample is sorted by the probability Kerry votes count for third-party candidates, Kerry votes are instead equal in both subsets.
