3. The scantron (optical reader) was invented over 60 years because hand scoring wasn't scalable for Iowa testing...

If it wasn't scalable for testing students in IOWA THEN, how would hand scoring be feasible in TEXAS NOW with powers of magnitude more papers to grade for voting

The stupidity is astounding.

I want paper scantron type sheets that have a record in CASE a hand recount is needed or to back sample to make sure there are no shenanigans. I do not want no paper, no record, all electronic voting.

They will keep pushing this lie so that they can count only strongholds the first night of the election and then claim the election was stolen when the understaffed blue areas are able to count their votes. Putting a time limit on counting the votes is a great way to disenfranchise targeted folks by having overcrowded precincts that cannot count all of them within a specified short time frame so that small precincts in targeted (red) areas finish their counting within the rules.
