Congrats to the winners from this side of the pond. I see there are going to be three more democratic women in the Senate. |

Congratulations are due to the countless number of folks who beavered away in the background. Those who administered and counted, collated and adjudicated - without you, and a structure that makes it all work, we would still be pondering on the outcome. I have a friend who is a returning officer over here and I know how much effort he has to put in to make sure it all happens smoothly on the day - and do the winners, or loosers, ever say thank you to him and his team as they make their speeches of victory or defeat??

I agree with Rob and Chris. But, the US use electronic vote recorders, I think? It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

I agree with Rob and Chris. But, the US use electronic vote recorders, I think? Yes we have for a few years now. Unfortunately, as a printing/bindery worker, the switch to electronic machines took away much work from me. In Octobers of the past I would be busy die-cutting the strips that went into the old lever punch ballot machines. That ended about 3 or 4 years ago IIRC. #resist |

I agree with Rob and Chris. But, the US use electronic vote recorders, I think? Different in every county. No standards. In Los Angeles it is optical, fill in the circle on a Hollerith size card. Other places optical on long paper forms. I think everyone got rid of punch cards. Wouldn't surprise me if some place was still using X's and a stamp pad with manual count. |

When the 10 year Census forms appeared for 2001 and 2011 they were machine readable. So, when they asked a question and gave tick box options to answer (machine readable, so easy to enter the statistics). I agree with the Census, but disagree the questions to do with lifestyle, and nothing to do with a Census. When I answered the machine readable parts, I ticked all the boxes, to mess up the machine readability, and then wrote in the answer. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |
