It wasn’t that long ago(5 or 6 years) that Oregon was still counting votes by hand.
The entire country of Canada still counts paper ballots by hand. They manage to get the entire country done usually by midnight the night of the election.
I’ve always figured the computerized voting was to make it easier for the vote jiggling to occur. You really have no idea if your vote was even counted or registered. None.
