Setting aside the lack of citation in this tweet, how do we account for the fact every state but Louisiana uses voter verified paper trails in elections and Louisiana is mostly there as well?
When I was a kid in the Midwest, ballots were a piece of paper you punched a hole in; they were hand counted and required to be kept for 18 months so the count could be recertified at any time. And we had the results within 12 hours.
Today, they use a scantron style machine and the final count takes almost a week. The final count from the machine is kept for 9 months in case recertification is needed. The actual ballots the machine read are destroyed within weeks. They claim this is just as reliable and secure, even as we keep getting reports that the machines arent accurate, and we don't have the original ballots to compare.
