Thanks to all the hacking four years ago, democracy is fighting back with tracking systems to rival Federal Express.
I was impressed with the tracking ability of the New York City Board of Elections, which allows ballots to be tracked online.
The Suffolk County, N.Y. Board of Elections has a similar ballot-tracking system that can be accessed by calling the Board.
A brief Google search shows similar ballot-tracking systems in place in California (for example, see https://gvwire.com/2020/08/05/new-website-allows-voters-to-track-their-ballot-registration/) and other states. This will be the best-tracked election ever.
