Democracy : The Grunt work
Election Agents' meeting last night with Harrow Electoral Service Manager.
preparation for the count for the European Elections. A very thorough plan in place, firstly for verification, and ensuring the number of papers in the count matches the number of ballot papers issued in the polling stations, then the mechanics of sorting by candidate, of which there are 19 on the ballot papers.
Electronics can count without error, but it cannot be watched while to counting, which is the greates argument against voting by machine, whiloe humns make mistakes, drop papers and so forth, but a team of humans sorting and bundling ballot papers can be watched sorting and bundling ballot papers. The process can be verified to be a true count.
