Debunking Hand Count Election Myths with Facts
What? ‘They’ say it can’t be done? Hand Counting election results will take too long and cost too much? People won’t want to hand count and, even if they did, there’s not enough people? And people aren’t accurate or can’t be trusted? Are these so-called ‘objections’ based on facts or fiction?

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.
