I responded to a guy I knew about his questiong the 2020 election.

3. Why sweat the details when ignorance is so accessible?

There's a problem in a neighboring county from where I live. The printed ballots weren't done quite right, and the bar codes on most of the ballots are unreadable, so the counting machines are kicking about 3/4 of the ballots out.

The county has put about 70 people on the job, re-creating the defective ballots with proper bar codes, then having two-member teams, one Republican and one Democrat, mark the substitute ballot as turned in by the voter. One member reads off the votes on the defective ballot, and the other marks the substitute ballot. When they're done, the members swap ballots and do it again to be sure they've recorded the vote accurately. Only when both team members are satisfied, the substitute ballot is submitted for processing by the voting machine.

This tedious procedure is detailed in the local news story on Facebook, as well as in the broadcast report. But you guessed it: Everyone who didn't read the story or watch the video is 100% persuaded that there are shenanigans going on, and the results won't be trustworthy. The short response is, "Why do you suppose the county is telling you about the defective ballots, then? Why don't they just rig the count?" Nitwits.
