voting machine
A device that records the choices of voters in an election. It can take several forms: --- 1. (Becoming less and less common in the U.S.) A mechanical device, where the voter flips small levers next to the candidates' names to indicate their choices, then pulls a big lever to record the votes. Very difficult to tamper with. --- 2. (Very common in the U.S.) A direct-recording electronic (DRE) machine. May print vote totals on paper, but there is no way for a voter to verify that his/her votes were accurately recorded. Unlike mechanical voting machines, DRE machines are EXTREMELY VULNERABLE TO FRAUD. In addition to outright tampering with the records, malware can be used to steal a percentage of votes, reassigning them to the rigged candidate. The purported verification mechanisms -- logs, audit trails, "snapshots" of individual voters' choices -- can be manipulated to leave no evidence, corresponding perfectly to the rigged results. --- 3. (The way to use technology for elections we can have confidence in) An electronic machine that lets the voter make choices (preventing overvotes and highlighting undervotes), then PRINTS AN ACTUAL FILLED-OUT PAPER BALLOT, which the voter can review and either discard (and start over) or cast. THE PAPER BALLOT IS THE OFFICIAL RECORD OF THE VOTE. (Voters could also choose to fill in a blank ballot by hand.) Ballots can be quickly counted by optical scanning technology. Importantly, ballots can be RECOUNTED, by hand if necessary. Counts from the voting machines need not be trusted as anything more than quick estimates or "exit polls". This system makes it difficult to commit the large-scale fraud so easy to do invisibly with paperless DRE machines. ---
The Urban Dictionary Mug
I love da gooning mug. now i know how to goon and i can goon with my cool new gooner friends !
We really like our cup!!!
Just as described. Excellent packaging. Timely shipping. No problems here. Thanks!
Just wish it could have had a little more of the text on the mug, but otherwise it's great. What a clever marketing idea to be able to get this on t-shirts and mugs.
I spent the money and directly sent this to be the pettest person ever to a person who was doing this to me. It was awesome
It’s a sturdy ceramic mug. A little pricey, IMO, but I really wanted this definition on a mug. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just what is needed for someone’s desk during the pandemic and beyond when they have to “MacGuyver” to make things happen.
Best purchase of my life, it's all downhill from here!
The Urban Dictionary offers one-of-a-kind products in its Coffee Mugs if you want to purchase something interesting. A bit off-center and not the norm. This is the place to be. Customer service is responsive to your query when asking a question. All Good.

its an alright mug. its moderate. mid. not the best. not the worst. pretty normal. if it was the weather it would be 50 degrees F. something so unexperiencing and experiencing at the same time. if it was on a number line, it would be in the center. i rate it a 5/10.
I can't believe my name became a meme. I love this mug.
Got a Fratz at home Love this mug. Fratz means kinda perky darling in my language, and since my darling loves to fratz when I'm around (that's indeed often) this is THE perfect gift for her.
