There is a tremendous expense in counting manually. Also no matter how much you monitor the count. The bias of counters can impact what happens. One corrupt team in a high recount county like palm can create dozens of votes. Thing of the boredom and fatique of sitting and counting votes for twelve hours day after day. Palm County did not have a clue to do the count in the first place and election board amateurs are very unlikely to understand how to put quality checks in place to detect normal human errors. If you cannot comprehend that manual counting is far more likely to corrupt the will of the people than objectively measure it with the objectivity of a machine. As a Software Hardware Integration Test Specialist I find over and over human error is difficult to prevent as humans are ingenious at doing the stupidest things. Tom Watson
