You might wonder “Paco, are you sharing details about #election #security that you shouldn’t share?” I have a high regard for #Fairfax County #Virginia. They make a lot of their #voting training public. You can see the training that I was given on their YouTube channel. All the details I’m sharing are in that training.

I really think they do it right. I have no complaints about how the County does things. But sometimes I think State law is not great. So we follow the law but that can be annoying sometimes.

A little live tooting from my job as an #electionofficer on #election2024 .

It’s calm and quiet in 904 - Stonecroft, in #fairfax #virginia. We are nicely over staffed and over prepared. There’s about 2000 registered voters in the precinct and we’ve seen around 100 so far. That might sound low, but it’s hard to judge.

In 2020, I was in a precinct that had about 3200 voters. It had record turnout, like 78%. So around 2500 people voted. But we only saw about 1000 in the polling place on #electionday. So just because the in-person turnout sounds low, we might actually have lots of voting.

This year Virginia started early voting on September 20. So since that date people can go to a number of satellite polling places and vote. And of course there’s absentee by mail or by dropbox.

More as it happens.
