their machines themselves. Each precinct has 4 mostly elderly poll workers most of whom have been doing it for decades. I do not believe average people, the type who sign up for precinct worker would be safe to approach for this type of cheatibg. Punch cards are pretested to see if they yield the races punched.

Especially since after 2000 everyone knew to hold their punch cards up to see if their chads were punched out. There were commercials, door hangers and windshield flyering in OH to tell us to inspect our punch cards. Kerry was #4 and I knew to look to see if the #4 hole was punched. If an African American precinct went 50% for Bush it would have rung alarm bells. They had to flip white Kerry voters to Bush in places like Warren, Butler, Clermont and Hamilton so as not to look suspicous.
