Return to Hand Counting
Is it possible to hand count ballots for an election without using voting machines? YES! Will it take days, weeks, or months to count all the ballots? NO – the time needed to hand count ballots is measured in hours. What about costs, accuracy, and the people needed to count ballots, and all the other so-called objections? Most objections are actually myths: popular beliefs that are false or unsupported.
