For a big election, hand-counting ballots will require hiring 1,300 temporary employees and will cost an estimated $1.6 million ... That doesn’t include the cost of adding space to count as many as 95,000 ballots...
Never mind that it was done this way for many years not that long ago, with the ballots counted by precinct, not sent to a centralized new counting "space." If my math is correct, 1300 people would each need to count only about 73 ballots each. What's so hard about that? Is the cost of using Dominion machines really that much less? Questions...
