Lets say it takes 10 seconds to open a ballot, process in your small fucking brain whether its legible or not, place it on a pile. Should take no longer if there's no tampering.

50 workers, rough guesstimate. 500 ballots every 10 seconds. 3,000 every minute. 180,000 every hour

What is taking so long? Should be a seamless production line process. Boom boom boom boom done.

Unless they have one fucking scanner per place?
