Serious question: why not count them manually?

  Agreed. I don’t know why counting is so slow in the US. If you have resources to hold an election, you have resources to make sure that ballot counting is done in a reasonable time

    Another aspect I don’t get is, why are voted in the U.S. shipped to central counting facilities, instead of counting decentralized in each voting station? Not sure if it’s common in the U.S. I just remember the videos from that Detroit counting centre (the one where they tapped over the windows, so observers couldn’t look inside).

      Apparently, the same is happening right now in Maricopa County. Ballots being collected and shipped to “counting facilities”. https://twitter.com/maricopacounty/status/1589997249584857088 https://twitter.com/maricopacounty/status/158999724958485708...
