I wish every pollworker could deploy every voting rule perfectly but that doesn't happen. Also, confusion itself is a deterrent to voting. I saw people at McKinley Library today ready to drop off ballots but for this election it did not open til noon. Some were not coming back.

1/In some states, watching provisional votes get counted shakes one's faith in the system. I have seen some haphazard and partisan processes employed. In one county, the official would not permit any watchers or any Republican workers in the room. Only Dems allowed to review.
-
2/ The Dem won by less then the number of provisional ballots accepted. In another county the 2 R's were overpowering the 1 D on the committee and not tolerating any questions. Provisional ballots are frequently subject to partisan adjudication, in my experience.

CA issues provisional ballots at an unusually high rate. However, most do get counted.
-
Maybe CA does a better job than the other states I've watched. I haven't watched there. Laws of human nature tended to impact the officials in states where I reviewed provisional balloting operations. (or got turned away from watching.)
-
CA is pretty good with provisional ballots, because they already issue more than any other state. I just hope the staff doesn't get burned out. There's a lot of pressure.

Raises questions about the number of provisionals available in these precincts and the amount of time it is taking to address the issue with each voter. When all is said and done someone accountable better lose their job.
