Big rolls of paper ballots that no human sees: Only the Microvote system uses the paper roll, but the voter does get to see the ballot before confirming their vote. It's also used for post-election audits, which are a normal part of the process. The Microvote setup is a weird system, and does not seem easy on the voter imho. Take a look at the manufacturer video. MicroVote is used in 3 of the 14 counties in TN 7. I put links in my post so you can see what all the Tennessee counties use and how they work.

Tennessee has no recount provision: True, or at least no automatic recount provision. People can file for recounts, but it appears (to my quick reading of the link) that it ultimately has to be court ordered. They seem to have no rules for who pays for any recounts.

A timeline isn't needed. It's simple math. First they say only 1800 votes left then it jumps up LymphocyteLover Dec 2025 #17

Idk about the OPs claim but I was tracking NYTs county results and they had it at more than 95% reporting even tho SSJVegeta Dec 2025 #22
yes, I agree with the idea that these media sites likely have imperfect counts LymphocyteLover Dec 2025 #31
I mean they often report based on percentage of precincts reporting. SSJVegeta Dec 2025 #33
The claim of 148,853 votes tallied with 99.4% reporting is in the black DDHQ graphic at the top LymphocyteLover Dec 2025 #32
