- eqvinox 7mo agoImmediate results without miscounts and at far lower cost. Given some confidence into the system, you'd only audit the paper ballots stochastically for a randomly chosen, say, 5% of election districts each time. [Whether that's worth it, I'll not make a statement on.]
- ninalanyon 7mo agoThe UK gets it done within 24 hours with very few miscounts and even fewer miscounts that matter. And is there good data on the relative costs?
- eqvinox 7mo agoSorry, I don't have further data on this. It's going to be a subjective judgement either way.
