Just to give you a feel of what is actually possible in a well run election: Germany (80 Million people) has a fully manual (all paper ballots, no voting machines or automatic tallying) and fully witnessed official result on election night. This count is then checked and certified as final a few days later (discrepancies are rare and small). People don't have to wait in line to vote. And voting happens on Sunday, which is a mandatory day off for the vast majority of people.

- Balgair 6y agoI mean, there were a fair few news articles out there describing attempts to explicitly make voting harder and to throw out already cast votes.
