Frens, I have a few questions:

When you finished voting, did you receive a printed receipt of how you voted with a QR code?

Did you scan that piece of paper in at the tabulation machine and get your printed receipt back or did they store it in the tabulating machine?

Thanks in advance.

No, you don't get the printed paper back. That's how I voted (Georgia).

Was it like regular printer paper? Or did it feel like card stock or something sturdier?

I don't remember it being like regular copy paper, but it definitely wasn't as thick as card stock.

Second.

To add, the sheet it printed had a QR code, but also all of your selections printed below. No way to tell if the QR code relays the same info or not, though. Once you scan it into the scanner, it’s done, no receipt.

Did it have your name or something to identify you by on the receipt?

No

Thanks for clarifying this.

I'm trying to piece together how a hand audit matches with the Dominion vote switching.

What I believe to be the case is the following:

  • Person votes and takes the receipt to be scanned/tabulated
  • Tabulator counts the vote and destroys the original receipt
  • Tabulator prints new receipt (with the fix in place)

This would be audit-proof at this point. Your single source of truth would be Dominion and Dominion alone. There would be no difference between the machine and the hand count at this point.

So, let's say they are counting these by hand during the audit. They are essentially counting against what the reports from Dominion say vs what they see on paper. No tabulating machines outside of Dominion can read this type of input and that's done on purpose.

Standard ballots are designed a certain way so other tabulating machines can read them. Some are pickier than others. The mail-in ballots are a more standard ballot design.

What I'm wondering is if the original receipt gets destroyed after tabulation, and a new one gets printed in replacement with the "fix".

This would never get caught in an audit.

Was your name or voter id or something identifiable on that receipt?

I wasn't given a receipt. Just an "I voted" sticker. i asked if a printout was available with my vote on it, and I was told no.

(Virginia; worked as Election Official) The only 'receipt' was one created after confirmation of name/address on the computer log of eligible/registered voters. Voters were to 'sign' that slip and turn it in in order to receive a blank ballot. Next the ballots were completed in privacy stalls and then hand-fed into optical scanners that 'ate' the ballots after reading them. Incomplete or incorrectly-darkened-dot-ballots were rejected/turned back/new ballots (replacements) issued, then scanned into readers. To my knowledge, due to privacy laws, there was no way to reconnect the completed (anonymous) ballots to the 'receipts' turned back in exchange for the blank ballots. I didn't witness any cross-referencing of the receipts to the ballots. The vote-theft occurred both through programming of the Dominion machines to discount Trump votes <1.0/increase Biden votes >1.0, and, later PM when online meddling literally erased Trump votes and transferred them either in-whole/in-part to Biden/subtracted some votes from Trump tallies electronically. I'm curious: What/how were 'receipts' suspect to your inquiry?

Did the receipt get destroyed after it was scanned? Like shredded or otherwise?

Receipts were issued by a machine connected to laptops bearing names/addresses of registered voters. Receipts were carried to nearby station and exchanged for random, blank ballot. Station kept submitted receipts loosely in a box. I don't know what happened to them later? As far as I know, only the completed ballots were scanned into the Dominion optical readers to record votes. The ballots were captured in random order inside the optical readers and removed at the end of each early-voting date. Again: I know of no association between ballots submitted/read vs. receipts used as 'script' to obtain blank ballots/per/voter. Having any association would violate voter privacy laws. Numbers of receipts generated should equal "total numbers of ballots cast in optical scanners". However, that wouldn't stop reader algorithms from distributing Trump votes recorded to Biden as long as the total votes remained constant, if programmed illicitly as-such.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm trying to figure out how Dominion is able to pass a hand-count audit. The only thing I can think of is the original receipts that get printed are destroyed and new ones are printed in place of them. That way, the single source of truth would be Dominion reporting and you would have to rely on it and nothing else.

"Beyond my pay-grade." Yet in MI you have multiple precincts where the votes exceeded the numbers of registered voters: If time/resources permitted, reading the printed receipts matched against the computer registry of eligible voters would reveal stacks of excess receipts (unmatched to registered voters)? Or a lack thereof (in total receipts-vs.-ballots-cast count)?

I don't know what machine it was but it sucked up my ballot and all I got was an " I voted" sticker.

My county in Ohio had these pos this year. I did not realize it was Dominion untill afterwards. It did not give you any print out. Just showed a picture of a qr code on the little box beside the main screen.
