Minnesota uses paper ballots and optical readers. In 2008, the entire state was manually recounted, using those paper ballots. Al Franken is our Senator because of that recount. We can accurately recount in Minnesota. So can other states that retain paper ballots. We used the same.e,system in 2016.

You may be correct about one state, but not about all states.
