A video circulating on social media of Iowa voters returning their ballots has caused a stir online.
In a clip that has gone viral, people can be seen placing their caucus ballots in a Hy-Vee paper bag being carried around a sports hall by a voting official. Posted on X, formerly Twitter, by WISN 12 reporter Matt Smith, the exact location where the video was taken is unclear at this time.
The clip has led to questions being asked about the voting process in the Iowa caucuses, which took place yesterday, with numerous social media users commenting on how unofficial and antiquated the process appears to be. According to X, the video has been viewed 811,000 times.
Some viewers were baffled by the video. X user Elle Whyt wrote: “This is how the greatest country on earth elects the most powerful person in the world? High school student government elections are more sophisticated than this.”
Another, Judi Stern Levine, remarked: “This is what the Republicans consider a safe and secure election?”
“So modern and up-to-date! Did the participants arrive by horse-drawn buggies?” Joan Strong posted.
