They would call them on poll watchers.

The poll watcher would walk out, greet people, walk back in.

People would get their ballot, go vote.

And as they came back to the, you know, put it in the box, they were signaling, hey, I complied.

And they would count those.

And I was like, it's all here on high definition video.

But is that enough to guarantee an election?

Right.

Because I'm trying to find people.

a reason to not get involved in this stuff.

Um, I go, it's not enough to know the outcome.

You can't guarantee an outcome by just knowing who's voted for you.

You could know the total vote and then know we have over half of that, but there's like 12 total candidates too, uh, for five positions.

And so, um,

The other camera that I had kind of not even paid attention to up until this point was 365 days a year is the engine bay where I parked the fire engine, right?

But on this day, the fire engine was moved out, and this is where they set the table up to do official ballot counts.

So they bring it in.

Basically, two election workers would come in with two poll watchers.

They would unlock the box, they'd pull the ballots out, and they would sit and count them.

So now you know the official counts.
