I think they are mistaken. Georgia has approximately 20 million optical scanners capable of reading ballots (population of 10.5 million, each averaging a bit less than two working eyeballs).
- Spivak 8y agoGreat! Have everyone scan their own ballot and enter the results into the spreadsheet for tallying -- crap we just invented digital voting. What if voting machines left a paper trail that was audited by the voter before submitting digitally and each precinct asynchronously counted their paper ballots and corrected their digital number after the fact if there's a discrepancy?
- TheCoelacanth 8y agoOr just collect a group of people to count the ballots as has been done for hundreds of years. Third-world countries that have suffered massive destruction in wars manage to conduct elections just fine without the use of any advanced technology. I'm pretty sure Georgia could manage just fine if they cared to do so.
