C’mon, it’s a no-brainer

Hand counting is a no-brainer. If every vote counts and they are going to be hand counted, the ballots should be filled out by hand and signed and personally put into the ballot box, after signature from the poll worker as having received them. When it arrives at the counting place, each ballot should be signed as received by the ballot counter. The counter, after having counted, should sign and initial and the ballot becomes a vote. It should then be filed and stored in the files.

What’s the matter with this picture if the primary purpose is to count every vote? To you Democrats it is a certainty that if you continue the route you are following, you are going to be so far out in space that you are going to fall up instead of down!
