Whew, well, that’s good.

So the posts about how in Washington they cancel the original ballot when you go through the print process for a new one are not correct?

That seemed like too obvious a flaw!

The parent commentor is being strangely dismissive and they are 100% wrong. In washington merely printing out a new ballot will immediately cancel the old one. It says it on the damn website.

I can't speak for Oregon, but this is not FUD. I can't imagine any good intentions from someone being so disinterested in the possibility of fraud.

That seems impossibly wrong! Such a glaring flaw in the system should be big news.

Has anyone but 4chan written about this? I wasn’t able to find anything.
