52. hand marked ballots, not computer marked

Mon Jan 20, 2025, 05:12 PM

and hand counted, multiple times. No "hanging chads", no machine tabulations... do it with a calculator if you must, but I would prefer pen and paper tabulations. Even if the results take like 4 days to tabulate and declare a winner. In fact, get all the court challenges and overseas and provisional ballots ruled on and counted before any number is leaked to the press. The goddam press can simply wait a week to declare the result.

What is the damn hurry to know who wins?
