There are two wolfs inside of me:
I want to use Google’s AI as much as absolutely possible - in order to cost them as much as possible.
I want to protect the enviroment as much as possible - and using AI (especially when you don’t want to) still costs the enviroment.
So . . . I’ll give into . . . Wile E. Coyote and just do something stupid.
YOU are the one that ass-u-med the 100,000,+ had to be at one location - I never said that.
So you are just giving up your point it seems. I very well know of Palm Beach County, FL. Yes, they counted multiple times.
My point was never about “how the chads hang” - that’s an entirely different issue. The accuracy of the counting is what I am talking about. You can’t give a reference for that because such a reference doesn’t exist (that is to say, a reference that shows a substantial number of votes counted multiple times when the counts are the same each time).
Capitals below are for emphsis, not yelling.
Please site (i.e. reference) where 100,000+ votes were manually counted MULTIPLE TIMES for MULTIPLE RACES ON THE SAME BALLOTS, and the results for ALL canditates were EXACTLY the same for each count.
Also: I’m NOT SAYING that either machine and/or manually counting is not “exact enought” - I FULLY believe it is and has been for decades/centuries.
Did they make a song about that?
Well, that’s not wrong.
Just read this to a beautiful woman I know.
Her response: That’s not going to end near as well/funny as you think/hope it will.
They should definitely get rid of 60K of them; probably more like 160K. AI can easly replace all of that and more. AI is more than perfect (according to AI), it’s near perfect (according to AI, that’s an upgrade from perfect).
Also, that’s definitely going to be a winning plan for them. /s
Elephant seal.
So, placing them in stacks of 10 fixes it all?
Let’s see, Pennsylvania had ~5,000,000 votes cast in 2022 per ballotpedia.org for senator. That would mean ~500,000 stacks of 10.
You’re sure everyone of them has exactly 10 sheets; not 9 or 11 or 8 even? They never get knocked off the table, mixed up, etc?
And remember, all parties need to count all of the ballots independently from each other - can’t trust a party to count their own candidates ballots ;-). And I’m certain we want every party to come up with the exact same count for each candidate.
Looks like (from the same reference above), that there were 7 candidates running for senator in that election. Five of which received any votes (guess the 2 write-in candidates didn’t even vote for themselves 🤷). So that’s 5M x 7 counts = 35M ballots to count . . . by hand . . . for just one mid-sized state.
And also, there is almost always more than one race on a ballot (I usually see more like 10+ on mine). So, are you going to count them once (in stacks of 10) - tallying 10+ races per ballot? Or do you plan to count them 10+ times (once for each race)?
With all due respect, I can’t see that being in any way practical even given an army of very careful people with multiple months of time.
The “secret” to both quick and accurate counting is to use machine counting - not counting by humans.
Want to prove it to yourself? Here’s a simple test to perform:
Bet you won’t come up with 500. Count them again; again, I bet you won’t come up with 500 and I bet you won’t come up with the same number as the first time you counted them.
Beautiful (hetro) woman I talk to says: She would find it funny (her husband is a big joker), but yes, it could be stressful at the onset to be told your husband is cheating on you.
