Having failed to find any fraud or any errors in voting machines the GOP wants to return to hand recounts. They were central to creating fear in the voting system and now they need to instill voter confidence, sounds like a self fulfilling prophesy. I have a better idea, just shut up about massive fraud until you have some facts supporting the claim. This will cost these states millions.
Arizona already spent millions in a hand recount lasting several months and found nothing, but don't let facts get in the way.

Republican lawmakers in at least six states have introduced legislation that would require all election ballots to be counted by hand instead of electronic tabulators. Similar proposals have been floated within some local governments, including about a dozen New Hampshire towns and Washoe County in the presidential battleground state of Nevada.
“It’s our responsibility, and it should be our desire, to count every vote and to imbue confidence in our citizenry that our elections are fair and free, and that their vote is being counted,” said New Hampshire state Rep. Mark Alliegro, sponsor of a hand-counting bill that is similar to ones proposed in Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Washington and West Virginia.
I've got no problem with that as long as observers are allowed to view the ballots and counting to verify accuracy. There is no way for and observer to know if a machines count is accurate or not.
I have always believed that hand counting is a good idea. I don’t see it as going backwards, but as a step toward election integrity and confidence in its outcome as being legitimate. Technology can be hacked.

Goodnight wants the Democrats to have the ability to cheat, as they already do in the deep blue urban precincts where nobody can show up for a job but they manage 100%+ voter turnout on election day.
Why stop there? How about banning people from driving to the polls and require them to ride a horse there instead?
If you think waiting several days to get the outcome of an election is maddening, wait until they ban machine counting and require counting by hand only. Waiting a week or more to get the results of an election will become the norm.

We had to do that when Mail-in ballots were introduced in the 2020 election. It took California over one week to finish counting their ballots during the recall election.
