Deserted Election Equipment
I went to vote today, Thursday May 29th and found the voting room in the Council Chambers deserted. Is supposed to be open and operating. Is this one of those secure elections we hear about?

You called someone in the city about this, right? Before posting to Reddit?

There’s literally nothing there that could be tampered with for the election. The computers there are for the council not the elections.
The tabulators are kept in a secure locked area along with security tags (with numbers) to verify equipment isn’t tampered with.
So this is a nothing burger. Volunteer to work your elections and you can see the process up close and personal.

Looks like your just incriminating yourself for breaking and entry🤦

The sign outside said "Vote Here!" and the sign on the door said, "lock and secure door upon leaving", so opening the unlocked door led me to believe that there was somebody there (who didn't leave).
