One thing people may be missing with the election terrorism happening in #OR and #WA is that at least in Oregon, we receive an automatic email/phone call/SMS when our ballots are received. (And again when they are counted on election day.)

"Fire suppressant inside the ballot box protected virtually all the ballots. Only three ballots suffered damage, and Elections will contact those three voters, via unique identifiers on their ballot envelopes, so they can receive replacement ballots. Voters should be assured that even if their ballots were in the affected box, their votes will be counted."

@downey wait, they can identify who voted what using unique idโs? Isnโt that kind of NOT what you want?

@jeroen @downey that is entirely by design, and why there are two sealed envelopes. The outer one identifies the voter so they can't double vote and are checked against the voter registry, the inner one has no markings and contains the ballot.
Ballot processing checks that the voter has the right to vote first, if so puts inner envelope in another box which will be counted later, your vote remains secret. -
