Counties across the U.S. are switching to hand-counting election ballots instead of using electronic tabulation machines over concerns about the accuracy and security of the devices.
At the forefront of the transition is election integrity advocate Linda Rantz, who says her model, now being used in a Missouri county, is less expensive than critics continue to say it is.
In April, the Fox News Channel agreed to pay Dominion $787.5 million in a defamation lawsuit in connection with the cable network airing claims the company "Committed election fraud by rigging the 2020 presidential election" and that its software and algorithms "Manipulated vote counts" in the election.
"We use hand counting at scale across the United States to verify election returns and audit mechanical election processes, and it works really well for that - in small batches," she said.
Byron Keelin, president of the Freedom Principle MO, told Just the News on Thursday that Missouri allows counties to hand count ballots for elections but it is not a requirement.
Despite people saying that only small counties can do hand-counting, Rantz said that across the country, the average polling place gets 600 ballots on election night.
In Nevada, Nye County added hand counting for the 2022 midterm elections to its machine tabulation of ballots and found it to be more accurate than the machines.
