[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given all of the apparently insecurities in this caucus process, we should be skeptical of the result no matter who wins, right?  Even if it's Mary? [/quote]

Are people actually out with iPads though?

If they are I think we need some sort of additional verification that the vote went through - re-email people to confirm their vote a week later. If people don't get confirmation then there may be an issue.

Have you done your caucus vote yet?  In order to vote, [b]first you have to fill out personal information[/b] that must match your vote registration to be counted.  After you vote,[b] they give you a ballot confirmation number you can use to track your ballot later[/b].  If you go back to the site to check your ballot using the confirmation number, it will show you a copy of the official ballot with who you voted for.

Given all of that, no one is going to start altering ballots because it's too easy for people to check their ballot later and confirm whether it indicates the right candidate.  If it doesn't, that will get reported quickly and the result invalidated if it appears that one of the campaigns was somehow tampering.  [/quote]

1) You want to give random campaign worker your personal information and ballot confirmation number?

2) How do people get copy of the confirmation number from some random iPad? Are these campaign workers printing them out?

Dear lord.  Those campaign workers probably already have my name, address and birth date because the campaign likely requested a copy of the Virginia registered voter rolls long ago.

I took a photo of my ballot confirmation number with my phone after completing it on my computer.  You could also write it down with a pen and paper.

The rest of this seems to be pretty deep into crazy territory.  You think campaign volunteers are going to surreptitiously screen shot your personal information and ballot number (which would require multiple screen shots while the voter is the middle of completing their ballot) so they can do what?  Go back and look at your ballot later to see who you voted for and then do absolutely nothing with that information?  The conspiracy theories are getting pretty nutty here.[/quote]

No - the data is saved in fields in the browser - no need to screenshot anything???

This is pretty basic browser functionality...I assume you've used a browser before?  :shock:

The ballot confirmation number would not be saved in a data field.  And the data that is, the campaign already has.

So again, in your nightmare parade of horribles, what is the campaign going to do with this data you are so convinced they are harvesting?[/quote]

I’m not “convinced” they are doing it.  :roll:

Just saying that - or worse things - [i]could[/i] easily happen which makes it _inappropriate_.

Why cross that line? It makes me question their methods and integrity. If she’s willing to do inappropriate things during her campaign what would she do on the SB?
