We need a law that says: Every vote must be counted within 12 hours of the polls closing, and must be re-counted by hand within 48 hours of the polls closing, or we throw out the vote and count every incumbent as having lost.
Agreed. Usually, quicker personnel processes are not as secure.
I can see the attractiveness of a quicker vote count, but like, an extra week for an accurate vote count, with robust error correction, double-counting, total livestream, electricity backups, staff isolation and rotation, et cetera, would be Best.
But if you do it fast and twice it will be secure. That won't give them time for shenanigans. A double count prevents fudging numbers.
There is an easy way to count that's faster and more accurate than people. Paper can be very precise in its weight. Just have them sort physical ballots and weigh them. Then you can hand count them as an independent check. That should come out 0.1% equal
It's only part of the problem, let's not forget that there is 70m + people that believe that clown world is a good thing. at least some are leaving or offing themselves.

That seems meaningless and stupid. Just throw out the votes.
