For those that don’t know, hand counting ballots is useless at best and can lead to mistakes at worst. All evidence shows that electronic voting systems are secure and accurate, so asking poll workers to hand count every ballot, especially introducing this rule so close to the election, is setting them up for failure. Some people want the counting to take longer and want more people touching the ballots so they can use it as fake evidence that the election was fraudulent. Just look at what happened when camera footage was released showing poll workers moving ballots in 2020. They followed protocol and there was absolutely no fraud found, but some people still think that video is proof that the election was stolen.
