On Jan. 6, 2021, an angry mob of Donald Trump supporters swarmed a CBC News crew working near Capitol Hill. Nearly four years later, reporter Katie Nicholson tracked down one of the people who surrounded her that day to find out what she’s thinking heading into another volatile U.S. presidential election.
Was worth the watch for the emotional contortions the supporter twists herself into when confronted by one of the people she threatened, her Democrat-voting husband dealing with it all, and that messed up Trump paraphernalia store.
Ballots don’t have names on them. Otherwise, yeah, all questions that should have been asked.
Ballots don’t have names on them? How the fuck do they verify that it’s 1 vote per person then? Mail-in ballots sure as fuck have names on them.
I’m not trying to be judgemental but I am curious have you never voted in person in the US?
Actually better question which country do you live in?
I don’t answer identifying questions.
They have a list of people that are registered to vote. They mark off the people on the list who have voted so they can’t vote twice. But when the person actually votes it’s done outside the sight of anyone else (sometimes behind a curtain) so no one knows who they voted for.
There was a time when there were gangs outside of polling stations that would beat the shit out of people that didn’t vote how they wanted. And considering how insane the MAGAs are, it’s not too improbable this kind of thing could happen again if it weren’t for having a secret ballot system.
