At what population level would you say it was okay for a national ballot hand count to take more than a day? Because a box designed to fit just the white land-owning men out of a population of 4 million can't indefinitely fit all over-18s in a population 90 times larger.
It's weird to be on a board where people claim overpopulation is a legit issue, hand counting is the only safe way to count ballots, but also it's wrong for ballot counting to go past your bedtime.

There should always be enough voting places for the hand count to take only until the night of the election.
When I voted Tuesday morning, there had been only 200+ votes cast.
So any population level should be handled in a day. Election Day.
