How Does Germany Hand-Count Votes In A Matter Of Three Hours Or Less?

 In a normal election, the German poll stations close at 6 PM on a Sunday (it will always be done on Sundays).

You show up as a voter with your national ID card (mandated), and have a letter sent to you from the city hall...identifying the location of the station and the time, with your name and address on it.  You present that at the door.

They read your name off the listing and give you a ballot.

The ballot is for a party situation.....not a candidate himself or herself.  It's one single sheet.  

You finish the sheet and push it into a box.

At the end of the day.....around a dozen to two-dozen people are there to count ballots (into pile A or pile B).  It's counted by hand, and usually takes about an hour....then repeated.  As long as the numbers come up right after the second count....that's it.

End of the discussion.  

You know the official winner by 7 PM in most cases....sometimes upgraded to 8 PM where issues occur.

Germans can't understand why you can't have a national ID card in the US....nor why people are totally lost on where to vote, or how you could possibly vote in multiple elections, or why it takes two or three days to count votes.  

The only response?  It's complicated, and you emphasize 'rocket science' several times in the discussion.

We haven't voted in the USA in a very long time, at least since the adoption of the scams of early voting, mail in voting, drop boxes, machines remotely accessible on the internet and voter rolls that are not purged for years.

Add to that, millions of illegal aliens who can vote without ID and a postal service that is seen multiple times on video getting rid of sacks of ballots.

The 'system' is designed for an infinite number of access points for cheating and the police will be used as enforcers at inner city precincts against anyone who raises the alarm.

in Quebec a voter has to have an address in the province, must be on the voting list, must show proof of ID that confirms the address, and the votes are counted by hand with two scrutineers observing, where the scrutineers are from the two parties that had the most votes last election

Democrates say the Blacks and Browns are too stupid to get an ID, know where to vote, and know which date to vote on. Therefore, when it comes to voting, no fixed rules can apply. We have to make allowances for the stupidity of the Blacks and Browns.

France can manage to count 30 million paper ballots in a day, and they do that twice in two weeks because of their two-tier system.

France doesn’t do mail-in voting, early voting or use voting machines en masse like the United States.

Voters make their choices in a booth, with the curtains closed, then place their ballot in an envelope that is then put into a transparent ballot box. They must show photo identification and sign a document, next to their name, to complete the process.

Volunteers count the ballots one by one. Officials will then use state-run software to register and report results.

But legally only the paper counts. If a result is challenged, the paper ballots are recounted manually.

If France can do it, why can't we?

The UK does pretty much the same thing . You have to prove who you are . What on Earth is wrong with that ? You need ID to drive .... to go to a Bar ..... to get on a Plane . There is nothing difficult about it .
You roll up - get your name crossed off a list - take your Voting Paper and put it into a box . It gets counted by hand and then checked . Result within a few hours .

Of course we can, it’s definitely not rocket science!

Jews don'tmake the rules. State legislatures do and democrats change the rules at the last minute. They need the extra time to count just in case they need to add votes later. (See 2020 election)

Question: Why can't it be done in the U.S.? Answer: Liberals

Anonymous said...

It can be done but it would interfere with cheating so it won’t be done,

Hand counting will make it very difficult for democrats to cheat. They want a time consuming process so they can figure out how many votes they need. It is as simple as that.

No longer. Dominion is encroaching.

We don't need national ids to do paper.

Casting and counting are just that simple. Any additional factors introduced like scanners, electronic voting machines, or remote ballot boxes only facilitate cheating, not counting speed or accuracy.

A dedicated national ID card, as apposed to photo ID like a driver's license, is antithetical to the concept of a citizen who is free and sovereign from the state. That being said, providing some sort of photo ID when voting is a no brainer to prevent fraud. Ensuring people can still vote who recently moved, are physically disabled, or who happen to be overseas will inevitably add complexity but they should not be disenfranchised for convenience sake. But early voting, drop boxes, generally accessible mail in voting, and electronic voting/counting is all an obvious fraud fest.

It's past time that the United States took advantage of the election methods of other countries, that have embraced simple election protocols that provide timely counts of ballots, and an order of magnitude better election integrity.

Why should we be stuck on stupid in the USA? Those who would oppose these simple reforms should be forced to supply a reasonable explanation for their
opposition. NOBODY, even the Democrats believe that requiring a photo ID is depriving anyone, other than a ILLEGAL voter the right to vote.

Let's fix this before the 2024 election that way everyone especially the honest voters will WIN.

We can do what ever France, Canada can do, however the Dems won’t allow it because you couldn’t cheat

Jews control the Democrat party. they started the USSR. They runs the banks and the war machine. when it doubt.... IT WAS THE JEWS

Germany votes for "a party". US has 1 page - front and back - with Senators, Representatives, Judges, District Supervisors, School board members. And often multiple Propositions on the ballot

Prior to 2020, the voting was done by the end of election 'night' - nor did the 'counting stop'... now it takes weeks... gee, I wonder why (but not much).
Thanks for allowing anon reply (for obvious reasons)

Because Democrats are the ones who can’t play a game and NOT cheat, are sore losers, and call everything racist, like a bunch of petulant Marxist Children that throw temper tantrum’s and sue everybody when they don’t get their way!

You don't need a national ID. State driver's licenses are now "nationalized" by a uniformed standard to fly. Pretty much all started now qualify to those standards.

Agree 100%. The whole thing is a scam

Anonymous said...

Ha, ha. Ha. Yes that's what the dem' are saying. In my experience you need an ID to go to the Bank, the doctor, get on a plane any public building, etc. Don't blacks and browns do any ofvthexthings$. It is laughable

Anonymous said...

You also need Id's for banking and at the doctor's office

Exactly

Can you give more explanation please

Greg Green said...

And the addition of drop boxes so democrats can cheat without incurring any pesky federal felony charges if they tamper with a mailbox.

It’s all so sad and ridiculous.

Some 'Anonymous' said simply, "Jews." Sadly (now), I agree - recently learned that they've hated Christian civilization and especially the old monarchies that protected it, so they set out to infiltrate & destroy (& with demoncracy), they have - THAT is why they hate Putin so much... how DARE he protect his country from their greed & degeneracy.

And you ended up with Justin Trudeau. Jeez.

I live in the territory the citizens and world leaders still call a country -they all call Canada.
We are not a country. We are a (since Jul 2021) legally a territory of the UN. Trudeau is their puppet leader for the moment, but that may change soon. We have lost all our freedoms.
Trudeau has made our lack of freedoms obvious, but citizens just see it as a hiccup, and ALL IS WELL!!
America also has our same status. OBAMA had the UN law past. Biden's demented, facist, king-like behavior, never answerable to the electorate, may differ from Trudeau because Biden writes endless EXECUTIVE ORDERS , which are unconstitutional... i.e. covid vax mandates based upon fetus' they authorized to murder.
