    Because you can do it well at small scale at modest expense. It’s expensive to do well and fast for ballots with lots of offices and in large numbers.

    This decision, unaccompanied by money to hire people, basically guarantees chaos.

        Pretty simple:

        • They require three people on each count. One is a Republican, one a Democrat, one an election worker
        • There isn’t money to hire election workers, so they can’t count the ballots fast
        • The Republicans are going to raise all sorts of random objections with no real basis
        • The slow counting in urban areas plus the spurious objections creates an excuse for local boards to refuse to certify the results
        • This in turn means no EVs from Georgia, so the election gets tossed to the house
