Caucus Catch-up: Republicans Try To Verify
The Republican straw poll will be posted precinct-by-precinct on a board at the the Polk County Convention Center tomorrow night. It will be potentially possible to verify the whole Republican vote process. This news came to me second hand (Thanks SF) from a voting integrity activist extraordinare.
A Republican caucus attendee must see the votes counted at the local precinct and then must see the totals board in Des Moines. That is not practical for most people, but campaigns can at least design phone trees for themselves if they want to have some feedback to the precincts about what got posted in Des Moines. Maybe someone can shoot a video of the big posting board every 15 minutes and put it on You Tube. It may not be as cool as what the Dems have done, but it has fewer layers of software, so that’s one advantage.
