3. Currently, no, there is no way to confirm that your ballot was counted accurately. You can validate that the state has a record that you voted but not who you voted for. In order to have a secret ballot, the state needs to be able to guarantee voters that their spouse/ parent/ employer/ etc. cannot determine who you voted for.
By publishing who has voted and the content of each ballot (including the secret key) one could verify: 1) that your ballot is there and that the vote is as intended, 2) that the number of votes is equals the number of voters, 3) that the vote count is correct given the ballots. – skyking.

I recall reading that it is necessary. To be on the safe side you can go to your local clerk and ask them to invalidate your previous ballot and fill out a new one. I made the same mistake. I called the clerk and they said it would still be counted. This is cascade area but I assume would be universal.
With the rise of COVID-19, voting by mail has been vastly expanded throughout the US. And the results have been, unambiguously, good for Democrats. Dem primary turnout has exploded over 2016 and 2018 levels, especially in blue areas, with mail-in ballots leading the charge. This post will go through some common questions and concerns about ...
Absentee ballots aren't gone through until after the polls close for this reason. The BOE is required to check each absentee ballot and see if the voter voted in person, and if so, the absentee ballot isn't counted. Basically if you're unsure and weary of your absentee ballot status GO VOTE IN PERSON. 5.
Obviously there is an effect if choose to not vote for a candidate for Clerk of the Circuit Court ( effectively 1/3 of a vote for all of 161, 162, 163 ). As well, it would seem that if I choose to not select 171 for the Recorder of Deeds , then my effective vote for that seat is proportionally reduced by the number of distinct write-in candidates.
So the point about whether your vote for president in a solidly red or blue state doesn't hold water. The only reasonable option is to get rid of the electoral college altogether. This does not even address how a vote for president in a state with very small populations counts considerably more than a person's vote from a very populous state.
This would be counted as "uncommitted"--there was a voter that had a ballot but did not commit to anyone for that race. In some states, such as Michigan, there can actually be an option to vote for "Uncommitted" which may happen if somebody has a preference for that party but doesn't want to support any of the specific candidates.
19 votes, 17 comments. true. Not my areas of expertise, but I’d think making a site/app that scraped these files, combined them, made the data more searchable, and made it more user-friendly wouldn’t be that hard, and could make for a nice project for some young person looking to make something to help them stand out on the job market.
For days my vote for the larger account was solicited by phone and after the last meeting with RD about the shares increase, I did cast by vote by phone. I was travelling and it made it easier for me. Following today’s adjournment, I verified online with my control number that my votes had been counted and they had NOT. That’s about 75K shares.
