@20002ist@thepit.social @kims@mas.to Also, there’s generally no way (in any US jurisdiction) to retroactively cancel a regular (non provisional) vote once it’s cast or accepted, since the ballot is de-coupled from the identity of the voter almost immediately.

@mattblaze@federate.social @20002ist@thepit.social Are absentee ballots provisional? Only reason I ask is because when I went up to Nye County* to monitor the re-validating of the absentee ballots, and the ones where signatures didn't match or the vote was ambiguous, all but half a dozen ballots had the names attached. And when I enquired, it was explained to me that the ones without names were from women in Witness Protection — not for testifying against the mob, but because they'd escaped abusive relationships with cops, judges, etc There was a whole process for that involving drop boxes and routing through PO Boxes and all kinds of other (necessary) subterfuge * I had to go to Nye, a 3.5 hour drive from Las Vegas, because they required a D and an R in the room at all times to monitor the process. And apparently there are no Ds in Nye County So I guess the overarching answer to my first question is ERIC, which of course R states have been withdrawing from Also, you guys are the best
