How could one justify disagreeing with this?

You think it takes too long to count votes today? Wait until we have hand counted paper ballots.

Oddly paper ballots were still way quicker than the last 2 digital elections. We never had to wait past election day to see results until the 2010s.

History has shown this take is not correct

Technically unless you are at a pole voting in person on a machine all ballots are on paper and put into a machine and counted nobody is asking for hand counted ballots people are demanding a method that doesn't permit fraud.

Law makers won't get together to do that not because they can cheat but because they know it will happen.

I have heard people ask for hand counted ballots. If that's not what's being proposed then good.

Hand counts happen when it's a close race and the appearance of fraud that I was talking about gets claimed by one side or the other.

Florida uses paper ballots. They’re the third largest state. They had 99% of ballots counted within a couple hours of the polls closing. The states that take longer take longer because they choose to, in order to manipulate and “find” votes for close races. Not a single, as in 0%, of the races that weren’t called within a day of this past election were won by Republicans.
