Though they were relatively small in number that day, they’re part of a nationwide movement to eliminate voting technology and instead hand count every ballot — an option election administrators say is simply not feasible.

The election administrators are lying - most elections in the US were hand-counted until the 1970s or later [1], and France and many other countries hand-count to this day [2,3].

Last year, for example, one county in Arizona estimated that counting all 105,000 ballots from the 2020 election would require at least 245 people working every day, including holidays, for almost three weeks.

This works out to each worker taking 23 minutes to count a single vote.
