I just checked mine today. Said it had been counted but it didn't show me who I voted for to confirm it counted it correctly. I wonder how to go about doing that?

You think that info will be available online for a SECRET BALLOT?   

If you colored within the lines, you've done all you can do without filing a FOIA request after the election is certified.

Had to enter in quite a bit of personal information just to check on the status of my ballot so its not like I just type in a name and see results.

I would have hoped there was a system in place to double check votes without needing a FOIA. One of these days maybe I will call the elections office and ask them how that works.

They don't match up ballots with voter records.  They have no time, resources or justification for that.

Your record gets tagged as having voted, mainly so you can't vote multiple times. That's all they care about.  To find your ballot and give you what it says after it's been counted could take weeks.

Our elections personal property is are supposed to be by secret ballot.  If the state kept a database of everyone you ever voted for in every election who purchased a firearm, I'm sure even you can see how that information could be abused.  it doesn't matter what hoops you have to jump through on a website to get to it.  The hacker only needs to crack into the system once to get everybody's info.  Then who knows who will have it?

Of course, I don't think the information should just be out there for all to see. I would just hope that it is maintained somewhere so it could be checked in the event that a case of fraud needed to be investigated.

Nope.  Not in Hawaii where paper ballots are used.  The paper ballot is the original.  If there's a problem, they will be used to verify the electronic results.

Places that have no paper ballots are at risk of major fraud.  No way to audit what votes were cast compared to what's in the database.

How would law enforcement investigate claims of voter fraud then?

LOL!  So, you think Cops only have investigative abilities if the evidence is in writing and controlled by the gov't

That's so cute.   

You are avoiding the question.

You're avoiding rationality.

You don't know the meaning of that word.

Everytime I see this title, I think Balut.
