Not really a fair comparison because Canada has a fraction of the population of the US (40 million vs 337 million). It also ignores the fact that computers are infinitely superior at quick and accurate tabulation. Hand counting introduces unacceptable human error to the tally process. Humans will never be faster or more accurate than computers. Finally, our voting machines, which are fully audited and certified, produce a paper ballot receipt that's used in the post-election audit process. There's always room for improvement, but you should at least be intellectually honest about your perspective, and the actual reality of what you're talking about.

Counters scale linearly, our cities are just as big as American cities

More voters = more counters

It's absolutely identical

More counters = more errors

Every human you employ in the hand counting process introduces more tabulation errors. It's dumb to hand count millions of votes and expect accurate tallies.

Almost as dumb as having closed source, government contracted machines that don't require ID and expect no bugs or no fraud

Show me evidence of fraud that has impacted the results of any election. For all the self-serving ranting about voter fraud by Republicans, virtually every instance of voter fraud in the past 20 years has been perpetrated by Republicans. The fact is, voter fraud is exceedingly rare, and has never affected the outcome of any election. But when it does happen, it's the people screaming about the loudest. Blinding hypocrisy.

those darned republicans, committing all the voter fraid!

*fraud

They do. Virtually every instance of confirmed voter fraud in the last 20 years has been carried out by Republicans, or individuals supporting the Republican candidate.

uh huh

Copium.

The way America votes is arcane opaque and does not garner trust. Full stop.

It’s pathetic. No serious engineer would design it this way.

Dems design it so they can cheat.
