(5,751 posts)I was a precinct manager in Georgia last November. Never again, and I'll bet a lot of other folks won't want all the training and trouble. Equipment won't arrive, won't work, or will just be slow. The training sessions won't run smoothly. Last time, we could have hand counted all of the ballots in the time it took to deal with the old machines, including all of the driving to the county office (DeKalb county).

And they were griping about stolen/lost ballot boxes 70 years ago.

But I'm sure some folks will condemn the system because it COULD BE hacked.

Any questions and they could just recount the originals by hand.

(12,410 posts)The old ones HAD to go. Maybe they could have gone MORE secure, but this is still an improvement.
