I spent a few years, off and on, trying to raise interest in such things. Much to my surprise I found nothing going on to rectify this. And few active conversations.
This really did not change among the entire political spectrum from ultra conservatives, to religious, to white suprematists, to centralists, environmentalists, liberals, progressives, socialists ,black lives matters , or environmentalists.
This led me to completely look at American politics as three groups: those who ignore this and are active supporters in political discussions , those that realize this and don’t comment much about it, and those who do not care.
I would love to see the US states use the same counting solution as in France.
About augmenting counting, I do not know much, there can be many solutions to that ranging from the semi technological (hand scanners) to full automation. But, in my opinion, I like to avoid extra complexity in the process.
I like the idea that the checks come from allowing unlimited recounts done on demand by any representative. I am not sure about the French records, but I think the record in the UK was set in the 1800s in a regional election at something like 37 recounts?
Representatives(s) of candidate watching each counting place, should feel free to be little tyrants to make that building do recount after recount until there is no excuse to do more. Its slow, but at the end there is no dispute, and no possibility of cheating.
I am always interested in hearing about people raising awareness.
Thanks for replying.

This is important activism. Thank you for doing it and sharing some insights.
afaik here in France we use paper ballots and physical collection. Which is quite nice after thinking about it a bit.
What is your opinion on automated solutions being used as an aid for human workers iff it doesn’t replace them?
Same if they’re used only as a secondary check not a primary counting method?
PS: I’ll try to raise awareness around me.
