New website documents ballots; Lt. Gov. Henderson voices serious concerns

[RandySF]

SALT LAKE CITY — A new website created to document ballots is raising concerns about voter’s constitutional right to a secret ballot.

Following multiple state and federal political candidates calling for election recounts, many Utahns are weary of mail-in ballots, and the state’s current methods.

Verify Vote is a website commissioned by Matthew Field, who was previously running as write-in governor for Utah. According to Teisha Field with the Thomas Consulting group, the website intended to “enhance transparency and build trust in our elections.”

Field said the website provides a citizen ledger to compare against the state count. Utah does not currently allow third-party audits, but employs a strong signature validation process.

[Think. Again.]

1. This new website doesn't make sense to me...

...if I'm reading the article correctly, a voter can voluntarily photograph a ballot and publish it on this website.

But so what? How does that mean anything to the official count of all the ballots recieved and verified by the state?

Unless each and every ballot is photographed when it is cast and verified, and then published on the website, the website can not be holding a final count to compare to the state count, it's only a uselss collection of a portion of the votes.

So what exactly is the true purpose behind setting up this website?
