Reply #43: The 100+ races on the ballot were in Ohio. [View All]

But even with 15 races - the guy from Canada said it took them 45 minutes to count one race in one precinct. So - 15 races would take 12 hours. "Counting and recounting" would take 24 hours. That is 3 days of full time work. And that is assuming pretty small precincts.

It's just arithmetic. Counting/recording a vote - let's say 5 seconds? For one race, 1000 ballots in the precinct, that's ~1.5 hours. Multiply by # of races. 15 races - 22.5 hrs. 100 races - 150 hours. Simple. Of course, you can have several teams counting etc - but you can see how it is a huge effort, especially if multiplied by hundreds of thousands of precincts. They can barely find enough precinct workers to direct voters during the election - you think they will find enough competent counters everywhere?
