Voting Machine Workshop by Kathy Maney – Franklin County Republican Ladies

Voting Machine Workshop by Kathy Maney – Franklin County Republican Ladies GOP

Hi everyone, I had the opportunity to travel to Louisburg, NC to present my Voting Machine Workshop to the Franklin County Republican Ladies GOP. They invited me to the beautiful Hudson Manor Estate on Saturday, Aug 12.
Everyone who came to the workshop were so kind and several helped with setting up and taking down my equipment. It was so much fun and we all had a great time.
Everyone was given a paper ballot, after marking their choices on the ballot, they slid it into a tabulator machine. The ballots were scanned to come up with the total.
The machine showed the same number of ballots as voters. We did not have more votes than voters, that was a good thing, then the machine told us who won.
Some people did not agree so we hand-counted the paper ballots.
After the hand-count, we watched a 60 minute video explaining how the voting process worked in Henderson County during the time I spent as a poll observer. The video shows how the electronic computerized voting machines work in North Carolina.
This workshop is a hands-on learning experience but more than that, it is so much fun! I made some new friends and was asked to bring my workshop to other groups in surrounding counties.

Thank you, Franklin County Republican Ladies, for inviting me!
