I have worked at the Herndon polls on several occasions, and I would like to make sure everyoneRead More understands what Fairfax County and the State of Virginina already require poll workers to do to combat voter fraud. The requirements that people work in their own precincts among their neighbors is to make the likelihood of someone committing voter fraud small at best. We are to stay there all day (5:30 am until the vote count is complete, usually a full hour after the polls close at the earliest) as another check on the chance of someone voting more than once or under more than one name. Both parties are represented among the poll workers by design to even out the chances of at least one worker knowing anyone who might walk in to vote. I have yet to work in a precinct where at least some volunteer poll watchers weren't present for either or both parties (and for all three parties in the election that include Ross Perot) for some or all of the voting hours. Poll workers are instructed on how to challenge a ballot, and I have had to do this myself on at least one occasion. A challenged ballot is sealed and kept, and after the election a panel makes a decision as to whether the ballot will be unsealed and counted. In most cases, the election is clearly won or lost without the challenged ballots, and they are destroyed unopened. I say all this to assure everyone that I feel large scale voter fraud is very unlikely. The need for other measures is unnecessary.
