Best voting system ever! My ballot is sitting right here at my desk, ready for the ballot box 4 blocks away.
Laughable.
This will be my probably 15th year voting from home no problems at all. I’m on the East Coast USA.
I bet many Republicans from other states do not believe any of this… That’s really a shame.
This sounds like a great system to vote! I’d love vote this way in my state!
Use blockchain technology to make this process honest
It's easy and convenient.
Thank you Trump and maga clowns for casting down in our election because you are all sore losers.
Yea i think we all want to vote by mail. We also dont wanna see the windows of the counters get covered up. Or random suit cases gwt wheeled into the room. Thats what makes it shady and not trustworthy
Verifying a signature…as if that couldn’t be changed, doesn’t cut it for verifying
I started voting by mail in California in 2018 and it’s great.
I live in Colorado and we have been doing this a long time– it is solid. Even Lauren Boebert has not complained.
He forgot to mention that when they get our ballot we also get a text message saying they got our ballot
My state dose this, it's great, an you can
have a bottle of snarky water.
Colorado just mail out 30,000 ballots to non citizens and got caught ! So how does that fit secure elections in Colorado ?
Election fraud boxes and mail in election fraud should be outlawed!
Hey this is 60 Minutes and we're gonna show a state with an excellent voting process as opposed to the dozen or so swing states where it's a free for all of corruption and changed the last presidential election hahahaha
We vote by mail in Washington State….Love it
Great job. I live in Mesa County on the other side of the Rockies. My Clerk is under indictment for giving voting machine source code to The Pillow Guy. My Cong. Rep. is Lauren Baubert. Why doesn't this compelling production make me feel more secure?
America’s voting system is the safest it’s ever been
For everyone in the back!!! There is no freaking evidence of voting fraud!!!! Sit down!!!
The problem is that 35-40% of Americans are conspiracy theory nut jobs that cannot accept their view are not the majority
The bubble they live in is just an echo chamber of people that have convinced themselves a civil war is beneficial to their ideologies
Rational “Republicans” should vote “D” until their party dumps the fruit loops
States that want to prevent people from voting would never agree to this system. It makes voting 🗳 fair and easy.
The problem with any form of non in-person voting is that you don't know who actually voted or 8f there was any coercion or fraud in the voting. Anyone can mark the ballots and votes can also easily be sold!
I love Colorado people seem cool
Correct me if Im wrong, they send a ballot to every registered voter, right? How do they determine if the address is still valid?
If you don't apply for a driver's license there's no way to determine if the address you used to register to vote from 5+ years ago is still valid. Yet a blank ballot will still be shipped to that old address?
In California we can sigh up to get alerts when our ballots arrive and been counted. I get an alert when they mail it to me.
As an Arizonian I am so sick of Kari Lake and the people that support here. This is nothing wrong with mail-in ballots. I bet if she does win and do away with it, she will lose the next election. However, she will try to hang on to power.
15 total cases of fraud in 10+ years of mail voting here in Colorado. No long lines, no voter intimidation. I received my Jeffco ballot this weekend and it was tracked to me via email so I knew it was on its way.
The whole country should be running their elections like Colorado does.. It is extremely secure and extremely convenient. I really miss living there for everything, but that is a big component
The thing that he kind of missed, glossed over, are those drop boxes. They're all over the place and I feel like you can walk to any one of them. No more than two miles away. They're at bus stops, train stops, fire stations, of course the post office, I saw them everywhere. It's a really awesome system that should be Nationwide.
Mailin voting is a scam
Pairing those of differing political parties institutionalizes the two party system even more. Its better that temp elections workers are randomly teamed up each morning. We don't talk politics, we don't know each others political beliefs. I've been one of those temp Elections workers in Washington State for 6 years now looking for fraud. Found none so far.
Question. In my previous Colorado apartment, I received two ballots in the mail that belonged to the previous tenants. In theory, if someone could forge their signature, they can send back the filled out ballots. There is no way to detect that type of fraud, right?
What happens when a ballot is not filled properly or unreadable by the machine? Is there an adjudication where a human has to manually select which circles the machine will read?
That system looks pretty good and he takes pride and passion in making sure it is secure and that there are no security openings.
