跟进：橙县选务处开放计票流程参观：官员吁选民警惕网上假信息
加利福尼亚州橙县选务处本周向媒体与民选官员开放参观，逐项展示选票从投递箱回收、签收、分拣、签名比对、扫描到计票的全流程。州参议员凯瑟琳·布莱克斯皮尔（Catherine Blakespear）与橙县地方检察官办公室首席助理检察官基思·博加杜斯（Keith Bogardus）参加了周二的参观；加州紧急事务办公室主任卡罗琳·托马斯·雅各布斯（Caroline Thomas Jacobs）周三（10月28日）也到访选务处总部，并呼吁选民警惕网上流传的选举假信息。
选务处介绍，投递箱由双人小组回收选票，箱体以螺栓固定在混凝土基座上并带GPS追踪；县警长办公室还派出一名警长常驻选务处总部协助安保。所有邮寄选票都要经过签名比对，无法辨识的选票会按法定程序复制后再扫描计票。
橙县选务官鲍勃·佩奇（Bob Page）表示，选务处自2023年以来已投入约400万美元增聘人手与升级系统，并获得州政府320万美元拨款用于更新选票开启与计票软件。
橙县191个投票中心将于10月31日全部开放，选举日为11月3日。选民有疑问可拨打选务处选民热线888-OC-VOTES查询。
选务处此前公布，全县逾33.7万张邮寄选票已被回收。官员表示，开放参观就是要让选民亲眼看到每一道防伪与核验环节，放心投票。
Follow-Up: Orange County, California: Registrar Opens Ballot-Processing Steps to Public Tour and Urges Caution on Online Misinformation
The Orange County Registrar of Voters in California opened its operation to media and elected officials this week, walking visitors through every step of ballot handling, from drop-box collection and receiving to sorting, signature comparison, duplication, scanning and tabulation. State Senator Catherine Blakespear and Chief Assistant District Attorney Keith Bogardus joined Tuesday's tour, and California Office of Emergency Services Director Caroline Thomas Jacobs toured the Registrar's headquarters on Wednesday, October 28, urging voters to be cautious about election misinformation circulating online.
Officials explained that two-person teams collect ballots from drop boxes that are bolted to concrete and GPS-tracked, and that a sheriff's sergeant is embedded at the Registrar's headquarters for security. Every mail ballot passes signature comparison, and ballots that cannot be read are duplicated under legal procedures before scanning.
Registrar of Voters Bob Page said his office has invested about $4 million since 2023 in staffing and systems, plus a $3.2 million state grant for ballot-opening and counting software.
All 191 Orange County Vote Centers open on October 31 ahead of Election Day on November 3. Voters with questions can call the Registrar's hotline at 888-OC-VOTES.
The Registrar previously reported that more than 337,000 mail ballots had already been returned countywide. Officials said the tours are meant to let voters see each security and verification step for themselves.
