I remember at the place near me, after you used the machine and put the printout into a folder that staff assured was “absolutely confidential”, it was immediately handed over to a guy who opened it and looked inside before putting it into one of several piles.

When I asked what he was doing they said he was “checking for completeness” and using his peripheral vision so he couldn’t see who you voted for. When I pressed them on it one of the supervisor types told me “if you’re done voting, you’re done being here” and said he was gonna call the cops unless I stopped “harassing” them

He was making sure your votes weren't tampered with by the CHINESE amerikkka-clap

It must be the uh, electrical, uh, infetterance, uh, prevention protocol. I definitely trust these people to handle everyone’s votes by haphazardly stacking them on a desk out of sight in the corner of the room, putting them in unlabeled and unsecured plastic containers, and then carting them off in their personal vehicles with zero supervision!

Uh well, not zero supervision. A cop rode with them to transport the ballots to a “more central location for final packaging” so I’m told, by one of sketch staffers. I definitely trust cops!

If it was a write-in for you all, I don't think they usually count those.
