What is the justification, to disconnect this machines, and do by hand what currently is automatic?

  If you disconnect machines, you can slow down the mail, which means that you can slow down the votes of people who have indicated via polls that they are overwhelmingly going to vote for someone else.

    The end goal is well understood, but I think the person you are responding to wants to know (as I do) what is the justification given to get there? Are they just saying "disconnect the machines" without giving any reason to do so?

      The given reason was "they don't need them anymore because mail volume is down". It was a cost cutting measure.

  The given reason was "they don't need them anymore because mail volume is down". It was a cost cutting measure. However, if you look at the data, mail volume isn't down enough to justify removing the machines, and more importantly there is an expected massive spike in mail volume in the next few months as record numbers of people vote by mail. Also most of these removals have been in cities that traditionally vote Democrat. So really the answer is, "to slow down the mail so that there is doubt cast upon the validity of the election results and also to try and stop absentee ballots that are most likely voting for Democrats from arriving on time".
