Secure Vote Utah initiative leaders believe in-person voting is safest, but county clerks say otherwise.
Davis County elections director Brian McKenzie explains the process of mail-in voting the Davis County ballot processing room in Farmington, Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2022.That’s what Brian McKenzie tells people when he takes them through the Davis County Clerk/Auditor Office, where he serves as a deputy clerk.
It would also require every precinct to have a polling location, which would raise the required costs for contracting polling places and recruiting and training poll workers. “Paper ballots are much more secure than sending a ballot through the mail. I’m not alleging any specific problem about Utah’s elections, but I think we all want to make sure elections are as secure as possible,” Moore said.“We have had people coming into the state … and making claims about what may or may not have happened in Utah,” he said. “As I’ve looked into those claims, they’re not true.
McKenzie acknowledged that no system is perfect and mistakes happen. Occasionally, he said, they get ballots that were issued to dead people. Another safeguard against duplicate ballots is the unique barcode assigned to each envelope. If someone were to request a new ballot — maybe they lost or damaged their original one — they delete that person’s barcode from their system and issue them a brand new number.
