Throughout the morning, staff tested nearly 200 voting machines that will be used on Election Day.
) - Tuesday was a busy day for Mobile County Probate Court staff. It was another opportunity to ensure everything runs smoothly on Election Day.
“We operate in Mobile County under the concept of trust, but verified and this is just a vital part of that,” said Judge Don Davis, Mobile County chief elections officer.“Not only do we want to test the machines for accurately recognizing votes and tallies, we want to also test the machines to recognize anomalies,” explained Mark Erwin, Chief Clerk and Mobile County Probate Court.
“And then we randomly pick a ballot from another precinct and confirm that this precinct machine would not run the ballot from another precinct,” Erwin adds. Mobile County voter Wayne Christopher attended the public session saying, “I’ve looked into our elections quite a bit and I don’t trust these tabulators anymore. I don’t really see much use in it. But I want to see what they’re doing because I know the public’s not looking.”
