BOE general counsel Steven Richman said that the ballots will be secured in locked boxes during voting.

Now I'm no rocket scientist, but not only are these boxes NOT locked, they are totally unsecure, masking tape and folded tops leads me to wondering, with all that already has, and still possibly can go wrong, why such a shoddy system?

Clearly, the "locked boxes" didn't arrive on SI. Pollworkers were told to "secure" the boxes with masking tape. In some EDs, TWO set of ballots from TWO separate EDs were merged. There are NO separations as to each & every ED. Clearly, boxes were opened and either re-sealed or "folded". As the photo shows, the officer could not see what was going on from a distant point and certainly with more than ONE box in several sites, no ONE officer (if one at all - since some had to deal with the confusion outside & back-up police were not available to replace those on breaks/lunch b/c of budget cuts & other issues) could possibly watch to be sure that pollworkers got it right as to privacy, NOT coaching people as for whom they should vote (especially in senior homes and nursing homes)....Don't forget: when people went behind a curtain & had privacy, it was MUCH harder to convince someone for whom they should vote. Terry Troia had to fill out an affidavit b/c she was not in the book!!!!.....Imagine what happened to others if a community leader had problems.
The whole process should be re-done in light of the fact that the boxes were not secured and no one could sign an affidavit that the instructions were plain to voters, that their ballots were secured, etc....
REVOTE!
