    These idiots…

    The ballots in 2020 WERE HAND COUNTED THREE TIMES.

    No major deviations or fraud were found. What in the heck are these fuckers up to here…

      Trying to increase the chance of confusion and questioning of election accuracy by introducing a process that has a high likelihood of being slightly off in a way that doesn’t impact the results, but does give ammunition to people that claim the election results aren’t reliable.

      If a machine count is perfect, the human count is off by a few votes, and the candidates are tens of thousands of votes apart the vote count was fair and reliable. Republicans want to paint this as the opposite, by focusing on 100% perfection in the largest totals.

      Changing this at the last minute also increases the chances of mistakes, because there isn’t enough time for training the thousands needed to do all the hand counts within the reqhired time frames.
