Hand counting is another source of error or corruption though.
I like the idea of optical scanning with random audits. That is you'll scan them, then keep them locked up together with subtotals for each box. You can audit that the subtotals add up, and then randomly pick boxes to hand count. You can then verify that the votes in the box match the subtotals for that box.
- nemetroid 8y agoHow is hand counting a source for corruption if all counting takes place in public?
- tobylane 8y agoUK election counting is done by hand, double checked, overseen by the candidates and there’s tv cameras in just about every counting room, especially in tight races or cabinet seats.
- pjmorris 8y ago> Hand counting is another source of error or corruption though. Hand counting, in public, at the voting site, puts the count in view of all interested parties. Any errors or corruption are the results of the collected views of those present. Electronic counting, in any form, adds to that the views of whomever builds, delivers, and collects the electronic count.
