My mother worked elections for years in central Ohio in the 1950’s and 1960’s. The ballots were counted at the precinct level by one Republican, one Democrat and the precinct Marshall. The ballots were sealed in a box after counting, and then all three people, in the same car, drove the ballots to the county election office. She worked for 12-16 hours on election day.
People were smarter in those days.
A simpler time. Everything is turned upside down now.

There has to be a chain of custody.
In the moden era I hear about precinct officials showing up hours late to deliver ballots.
And recall in Florida 2000 the election station(s) not being in custody of the election officials (one was even put on tour/display I think I recall).
omg....my mother did the same thing in OHIO!!!
