94. I'm guessing you just patented purple ink remover

... and are trying to get rich from people who want to vote 10 times.

I can imagine the chaos of hand marked paper ballots. People are not known for being neat and there would be a lot of judgment calls. Remember the hanging and pregnant chad debacle in Florida 2000? Some would put the mark right between the candidates or mark both. Others would try counterfeiting ballots and stuffing the box. It's low tech so any idiot with a printer can try to hack it.

Then there's the counting of that many ballots in a reasonable time. You may think the state could hire an army or poor people to sit and tediously count each ballot with a member of the opposite party to witness each worker, but it's hard enough to even get poll workers... and that pays $130. No one would want to sit at a table for 12 hours and count ballots until their eyes bleed. It's not just the president that has to be counted, but other races and issues as well. I wouldn't trust that kind of count anyway.
