Like even if you use no machines but a simple lap counter or even pad and paper. It’s still not that labor intensive if you can use a machine to sort the ballots.
A person could check that the ballot has been properly sorted and tally that ballot in about 5 seconds. Would only take that person about 1.4 hours to go through 1000 ballots. If you need 2.5 million done in 6 hours you would need to pay about 580 people for 6 hours work. 580 * 15 * 6 = ~52,000.
If you account for some basic inefficiency and double that it’s still only like $100,000 for the after sorting portion of the whole project. How much you bet they pod for each of those smartmatic machines? Because of hacking risk they can’t possibly have more than 1 or 2 years use. Maybe 3.... like what?
