How Venezuelan voting operates

 

I said yesterday that Venezuela had an excellent voting system. I did not explain how or why. So here is Caracas Chronicles with a great explanation! From them:

1. You vote at an electronic machine;
2. The machine prints a voucher, which you drop in a ballot box;
3. The machines prints a tally of the votes at the end of the day;
4. The machine sends the tallies to Caracas;
5. 54% of tables are tallied on the spot, with hand-counts of the vouchers in front of witnesses.

You end with three tallies: the electronic record, the machine print-outs, and the vouchers. Hard to cheat, and easy to recount. (There are rumors of vouchers found dumped in the trash. We will see. I am skeptical.)

Voting is one thing that the Bolivarian Republic does very well, much better than its predecessors.

Florida should be so lucky.
