For working a voting location, those are ordinarily temporary workers.

And there's a whole bunch of procedures.

Usually you have to document a whole bunch of different things.

But at the end of the day, you're going to take all of the ballots that have been run through that tabulator, and you're going to take the memory device from the tabulator itself.

And you're going to wrap that memory device in tamper proof packaging, make sure that it can't be damaged, make sure that it can't be tampered with.

You're going to give it to a bipartisan team and they're going to take both those ballots and that memory device to a central count facility.

So that will be either within your county or within your city where all of the different voting locations go into in order to aggregate the results.

And when they aggregate the results, not only will they load that memory device into this main server to add to the other votes that have come in, but they'll make sure that the number of votes that it recorded is the same as the number of ballots that were returned from that voting location.

So it said if the memory device reads 1,123 ballots have been read on this, there better be 1,123 ballots that are in the drawer

where they went after they were tabulated.

So that's one component of it.

There's a whole bunch of other components because obviously some people vote by mail, some people get a mail ballot and they drop it off.

But an important part of this is we don't just load those into the elections management server, print the results and then say, well, hope everyone enjoyed their election.

There's always going to be post-election audits that are going to be open to public observation and are going to be done in a bipartisan manner.

So here we really get to the core of the Hugo Chavez claim, which is that the tabulation equipment itself took votes that were for Donald Trump and it awarded them to Joe Biden.

And we know that's not the case.

Because what we do is we select random batches of ballots.

We see what the machine count was on them.

And then we give those physical paper ballots to bipartisan teams of Republicans and Democrats who hand count them.

And they make sure the machines got the count right.
