minus-squaremerc@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·18 days agoCan you prove that your vote was counted and that the number of votes for your candidate went up by one as a result? If you can’t prove it, then it’s based on trust.
minus-squareEheran@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·18 days agoThat’s on the level of “everything could be made up to fool me” or matrix kind of stuff. You can simply be a poll worker yourself.
