> In Nevada, Marchant has been leading a state and local push to dump ballot tabulators and count results by hand only, which election experts say would be costlier, more time-consuming and less accurate. “We all are advocating for getting rid of the electronic voting machines,” Marchant told Bannon, falsely claiming that using computers in election systems introduces a “10 percent error rate.”

I remember when it was Democrats worrying about the threat that vote counting machines posed to elections. Somehow this article simultaneously complains that election chiefs could manipulate the voting process (by changing the wording on paper forms) while not challenging the idea that the tabulators that these chiefs select and configure are more accurate than a human count.
