57. NO. MACHINES. FOR. COUNTING

If you let the camel get that nose in the tent, game over.

Tabulation should be done by standard calculators or off the shelf stuff. No proprietary, or even open source software made by the crooks who make the current crop of loot-inviting crap.

Machines, if desired especially for accessibility issues, can be used like a word processor and printer -- unconnected to anything except each other, to generate an easily read ballot.

Ballot GENERATOR. Not Tabulator.
