282. There's a problem of scale

Wed Nov 21, 2012, 10:29 AM

Nov 2012

Hand-counting the ballots requires staffing up a lot in November, which can cause it's own set of issues - remember the woman in Oregon who was filling in the "Republican" straight ticket on absentee ballots? You can't hire just anyone, but they'll have little to do the rest of the year so you can't hire full-time. That's why we originally switched to the punch-card ballots in the 1960s - it was getting quite hard to get enough hand-counting staff.

So what seems like a good compromise to me is to count the ballots using an optical scanner, and then manually hand-recount randomly-selected precincts. Those random precincts would be selected after election day, so that there's no way to know which precincts are safe to 'hack'. If those random recounts discover more than a trivial difference between the hand count and the machine count, then you recount everything by hand.
