This has been a tried and true method in voting and counting votes for well over two centuries, and for the most part, the public had trust in elections. It is economical. It gets citizens involved in civic life.
Now let's just briefly touch on the topic of fraud and inaccuracy. When machines are introduced into the recording and counting the votes, there will always be a question of whether there is fraud and inaccuracy. There is only one thing to understand. Machines lack the same observation as hand counting. Certainly, you could have observers watch a stack of ballots be loaded into a tabulation machine, but there really isn't any scrutiny of each individual ballot as there would be if counted by hand. Hand counting is typically done with three or more people, with each agreeing with the vote on each ballot. Furthermore, those three people are observed by representatives of political parties. This is a simple system of quality control, validation and verification. It does not take a tremendous amount of time when performed at the precinct level. The vote can be counted in the evening of the election. But in PA, over a week after the May 18th election, they are still counting votes. Something is inherently wrong with elections in PA. These eff'n RINOs need to get off their lazy asses and do something about. They control both chambers of the state legislature. Until then, there will not be fair elections in PA.
If I understood the post, that was just an opening cost to proceed with the rest of the purchases.
