I wish I knew how they worked, but all I have ever done is pencil an "x" next to my choice and stuff it in a wooden box. I have never counted. Your post though gives me food for thought on a way to approach the "counters". A "Tell me what you did as a record of history". A monument to a time going by! Maybe in the process, there will be an epiphany. I do know that election issues were seperated on different ballots, on different colored sheets of papers. They had to be put in the slot one at a time so that the poll worker could see each one going in. I am sure that is what makes hand counting possible. A yellow stack, a blue stack, etc.
I think anyone that acts like hand counting is not possible is being disingenious. Of course it is possible! I also consider that the fact that our banks and credit bureaus can process every financial move we make, that machine voting SHOULD be possible, but unlike a bank account where if they cheated we would soon know, with our vote...we can never know.
