        Used to seal machines after voting complete. If seal broken that machines votes cannot be used in a recount. There were Many broken seals on machines, particularly Detroit 2016.

        wait. are you saying they can still be used for the first count, but not for a recount? how does that massive a$$ loophole make any sense whatsoever?

        but it will be counted towards the initial vote totals for purposes of deciding the election? even with evidence of tampering?

        So if one wanted to "break" a recount, one only needs to break the seals on the votes? Hmm. What could go wrong....

        Folks, I am sure issues like healthcare and immigration are bread and butter, but the working people need to be informed on *why* election security should be top of mind during this cycle. @TomPerez @SenSchumer @SenKamalaHarris

        Is this for the counting machines? Michigan uses paper ballots unless west Michigan is different than the rest of the state.
