Perhaps. But if this was the concern, was it documented anywhere before the election? Is there a pre-November 3 email trail that says "Hey we're worried about Covid with crowds standing together on election day. Let's speed up the process by using markers on election day as that's just a bit faster and the machines work 100% perfectly with them."

And this merits an explanation for why the switch. If you want to use markers on election day because it's faster, ok fine, but why not use markers all of the time? Don't you want pre-election day voting to go fast too? Why the sudden switch?

I agree. Should be some kind of justification.
