Alaskans fill out a paper ballot that is fed into a scanner that counts it. They keep the paper as a backup. It's not like that everywhere?
I think in many places you don't get to keep anything and you don't see a running vote total - so you just have to trust/hope that the machine is adding everything up faithfully
I love the based innocence of Alaskans. Living in a world we all seek to return to 😁
