Interesting how operational complexity often kills well-intentioned process changes. The logistics piece here was probably always the weakest link since scaling manual counting across tens of thousands of ballots requires way more coordination than people realize. I've seen similiar issues in tech deployments where the happy path looks great on paper but falls apart when you account for edge cases and resource contraints.
The logistics gap here is massive. Hand-counting tens of thousands of ballots in one day needs insane coordination and trained poll workers, not just enthusiasm. Seen similar proposals fail because people underestimate the combinatorial complexity when youscale precinct operations. The September promises about transparency were always gonan crash into practical reality of hourly throughput rates and error reconciliation protocols.
This sounds like more bullshit from our Republican Party in Texas and Dallas. Well Dallasites don't moan and groan about who gets selected for you after the elections. You lazy ass voters should have lined up by the thousands to verify the reliability of your elections. Shame on you ALL.. It is no wonder why this country is going to hell in a hand basket.
No kidding. The least they can do is sign up and get trained as a poll watcher so they can monitor the collection and counting of the ballots to make sure none get run through the counting machines twice. I totally get the logistics part of it. I participated in hand counting in Gillespie County and it was okay but on a larger scale there will be issues.

Walk into any Dallas GOP meeting and you'll understand why hand-counting ballots was destined to fail from day one.
