One of those [Trump-aligned] members, Janelle King, suggested that accuracy was more important than timing.

“As a voter, I would rather wait another hour…

An hour‽ We’re talking between thousands and hundreds of thousands of ballots. You absolute troglodyte, you think humans will do a better job than machines?

…to ensure that the that the [sic] count is accurate…

If only we had historical data points to see if humans do a better or worse job at counting accurately…

…than to get a count or get a number within that hour, and then to find out at the close of an election, after certifications” already taken place “that we have people suing because the count was not accurate.”

Which will happen anyway, because y’all can’t seem to accept the reality that most of us don’t like your demigod.

That is why they are insisting on hand counting. Because machine counting would be accurate.
