Reply #4: You can't get enough people to volunteer to help with automated [View All]

voting systems. You can't get folks to come out to vote. Why do you think that the people who run elections have to worry about the costs associated with conducting an election?

The clerks are the ones that are responsible for the elections, they were elected to the posts, they take an oath and they are not going to rely on your promise to "supply the adequate number of volunteers". They can't rely on promises.

Let me ask you - how many times have you been able to vote in your lifetime? How many times have you volunteered to help on election day/night?

The promise of volunteers is nice, but clerks will not be able to rely on promises.

And even if you had the adequate number of volunteers, how do you propose to count 8 and 10 pages of ballots, per "voter", by the "hand count" means?
