People who believe that votes should be electronic should be drawn and quartered and then poured through a woodchipper into a hog trough at feeding time.

Electronic voting methods are easier to change. Having a hard copy at least guarantees the ability to physically recount.

If anyone wants an example of what appeared to be an orderly and well-run hand count, just go back and watch some of the videos about how Brexit vote was counted.

If it takes more than one day to count and verify counts, so be it.

How are paper ballots WORSE than electronic voting systems? They paper is obviously more capable of being reliably tracked in a physical manner.
Just because some schmuckos don’t comply with the documented procedures doesn’t invalidate they system itself.
