Did you know most of Europe hand counts their paper ballots? [View all]

Germany has specifically banned anything except hand counted paper ballots because it’s in their constitution that citizens have the right to oversee every part of the government

Xxxxxxxxxxxxx

From the replies, there are a couple questions I want to address

First off , they don’t have as many races

My answer, we are only talking about counting one race, the president

Second off,
They don’t have as many people

My answer, we vote in small precincts, mine usually has about 1200 voters, no one is suggesting we count the whole state together

Third question/point,
Humans make mistakes

My answer, maybe we need some honor roll 4th graders that can stack ballots in stacks of fifty, seriously sort and stack isn’t that hard
