Well yeah, I’d imagine it’s earlier tech. I’m just saying, where I’m from the population density is probably the highest in the country. I would think paper ballots take longer and are more labor intensive than electronic ballots. Not that I’m willing to sacrifice accuracy for quicker results.
i mean, think about it. the more people you have, the more counters you can have. you make your districts so there’s at most a few thousand people per district, and you designate a counter (or three) from each district. then you get a few central counters per region to verify the district counts. the more people you have, the more you can decentralise.
Oof, alright. I think I can get on board for paper ballots.
Question, is there a scale issue when you have a large enough population?
no, voting is a lot older than computers.

takes about a day or two to get the results.
