Doesn't sound like they know the actual vote though? At least how you've quoted the description. Just the name and title of the employee.

Fair, I hadn't considered that. It does seem like the actual vote should be private.

Seems more like a roll call check. Usually, signatures are on the outside of sealed ballots.

if it isn't secret...why do they need cameras to watch the ballots? if all the votes and names will be read aloud, there's no way to cheat and change a vote

According to the article:

>...Amazon had sought to place a video camera in the NLRB’s Birmingham office, where votes will be tabulated, to keep an eye on the ballot boxes in the off hours between counting, according to an NLRB order denying Amazon’s request. The camera feed would have been accessible by both Amazon and the RWDSU.
