WOW! This is crazy to hear- I’m so happy you went back & requested your name be removed from that “list”! Sounds like a red flag to me- in regards to jotting your name (& possibly others), that prefer to have your ballot hand counted. I don’t like the fact machines with software are used for ballots & recording those votes- I always complete my ballot at home (CO mails ballots out); after I finish voting & filling in the circles, I hand carry my ballot to my county voting precinct, & inside the building I drop my ballot in the locked, metal box. I just hope & pray county officials are honest; but, I guess “we shall see” come later tonight or ???? I am counting to hear good news later this evening! I feel confident the Red Wave will fly high tonight, & I pray Trump takes the WIN!

I pray DJT wins as well Patricia. So the head election lady couldn’t find the list, she eventually did and placed it in front of me. She tried to show me a letter from the Secretary of State saying to make a list of peoples names that wanted their ballot hand counted. I told her I don’t care who said to make the list I don’t want to be on it, it’s illegal to make a list of names period. The ridiculous thing was there was only my name and one other name of ballots that were put into the hand counted slot. Hard to figure out which one was mine, it’s the bottom one of the two. ?????? Unbelievable. The other thing is she didn’t ask my name or look at my license she went right to my name and scratched it off, again she knew who I was. I felt as though I was in a micro milgram experiment, would I just go along with the authorities? I just wanted to vote and go to work instead it turns into a real nerve racking pain.

I appreciate the fact you went back & asked to have your name removed from the list- My thought & question is, what were the intentions of the SOS? What was the election-head-lady told to do in the event a voter wanted their vote hand-counted? Then, you had a moment after your name was already on the list…I’m a curious cat!

I should have said no I not giving you my name from the start. The poll lady showed me a letter from the Secretary of State saying to get a list of people asking for hand counted ballots. She mentioned they may reach out to me and explain that there’s no need to hand count the ballots. I stopped her and said I don’t want to be reached out to. I don’t care who wants my name on the list I just don’t want to my name associated with my ballot on a list period. I want my privacy and my ballot to be secret as that’s how it is supposed to be ….. hope that explains it. She wasn’t exactly sure why they wanted a list she was somewhat guessing.
