This isn't about paper ballots. Pay attention. This is a machine that is having a 20% rejection rate. 20% rejection is not acceptable under any standards for this sort of mechanism. Then to add to it this isn't about counting rejected paper ballots, it's about how these ballots are being secured after removed from the box #3 and when they will be counted.
If they were properly handled from the start because they knew they were all going to be paper ballots then that is fine. We would all know they mechanism and understand how security is being handle. They would have the people ready to deal with the large number of paper ballots. But they do not have a mechanism that they have conveyed to anyone that proves they will be able to handle this level of rejection and they certainly didn't expect a 20% rejection and have the proper people in the numbers required to handle this.
It's also about why some people find this sort of incompetence acceptable.

maricopa again, I am shocked.
THose machines are not safe, those machines are only as reliable and honest as the people that set them up and load the software, considering most voting regions are handled by volunteers well how do you find the bad and fix the problems, well you call dominion and hope the techs are good honest people.

My question is what happens when bin #3 fills up with ballots to the point no more can be slid in to it? Do they replace that bin? How is that secured? What do they do with removed bin while waiting for the end of the night so they can take it to be counted?
Damn good questions, and your guess is as good as mine. Dunno.
But I am reading other reports of severely under equipped voting places, causing long lines, horrible wait times, and people leaving, Never thought of that. If they suspected a red wave, simply under equip the voting place. On purpose. They gotta be paying people to come up with these ideas. With two years to prepare, this is gross incompetence, or flat out election fraud. No. Just no.
who wanted paper ballots? only yourselves to blame for these issues. if people could vote online none of this would be an issue.

Voting machines should be outlawed.
No other country uses them to such an extent. With the notable exception of Venezeula, which is a dictatorship whose elections are a complete joke. Tells you all you need to know really.
The rest of the world gets by just fine with paper and pen.

The actual democracies being the US, a corrupt corporate oligarchy and Venezuela, a single party dictatorship?
Digital just enables fraud. Harder to cheat with paper since people notice pre-filled boxes or burning ballots pretty quickly.

No, We have to stop saying the problem is with one form of voting or the problem isn't a problem, so nothing to see here.
We have to start requiring that election officials can not be this incompetent and not have some sort of consequences.
And we have to stop thinking things will change or be better when we never actually address what went wrong to begin with.
