I love the system.

They start tracking from the time you request an absentee ballot. Every absentee ballot is numbered and linked to the voter's name and address.

Here are the states/counties that are using BallotTrax

Don't be obtuse. They don't want to be doxxed, have their license plates filmed/photographed by self-appointed watchers, the same privacy concerns the oath keeper spinoff group has. But you knew that, unless you're not just pretending to be unaware.

If someone posts a photo of a voter's vehicle and license plate to the internet with false accusations of wrong-doing, you don't think the voter has anything to worry about?

Hard to say. It seems those (with legally carried guns per state law) are the ones that were there for a bit and left...but are being portrayed as whom is there watching.

P.S. They're all doofuses.


Couldn't rep you again, yet.

Please explain why anyone would fear getting doxxed from exercising their right to vote. I would suppose that at least half of all adults in the US participate in the voting process and there's nothing at all wrong or shameful in the participating.

So, I'd like to hear a good reason why anyone would be embarrassed or ashamed in any way from being photographed while standing in line to vote or dropping a ballot in a ballot drop box. To me, that would be a badge of honor because I'm doing my patriotic duty by voting. Now if someone were being photographed while going into a "house of ill repute", that would be a different matter.

I see no correlation whatsoever to false allegations of wrongdoing and voting. Hell, someone could photograph your car in the supermarket parking lot or the local church and make the same allegations of wrongdoing. You can't go around with your license plate covered all the time for fear that someone is going to make false allegations about you. As has been stated repeatedly, you have ZERO right or expectation of privacy in a public place.

Perfectly legal if they were black and supporting a black candidate like what happened in 2008 presidential election.

Not that it matters at all, but everyone keeps referring to "two guys" in masks and carrying guns in the OP's first post. I'll bet that the one in the light tan colored hat is a female. You folks need to get your eyes examined.
