The Voting Process
When you think about the voting process in the United States, voting essentially takes place in a black box, providing the voter with no assurance that their vote will actually be counted once their ballot has been cast. To make matters worse, the current voting process costs entirely too much tax-payer money without being able to offer voters the virtues of security and transparency. The infographic you see below is dedicated specifically to the current method of voting used in the state of California today, which is very similar to the voting process currently in place across the United States. The whole premise with the black background is to create the sensation that after you cast your vote, the entire road to your vote being counted is lost behind a veil of unknowns. In Summary…
After voting is completed, all the votes are compiled in the “black box” where they are counted and matched to the number of people who voted. Then, the votes are delivered to an official office where they are counted – usually by an optical scanner. Sometimes, there are flawed sheets. When this happens, they are judged for legibility. If illegible, they are discarded. If the judges decide they are legible, then they join rest of the votes, counted, saved, and then sent to the Secretary of State.
