The post-election activities these last 6 months brings to my mind the way things have gone in sports where the fans expectation of everything needing to be absolutely perfect has brought in the use of instant replay and calls from stadiums to New York to ascertain the result of some plays. It occurs to me our elections expectations have now reached the point where we demand every "t" crossed and "i" dotted. We're sure not going to get anywhere near that from the amateurs we currently use to handle things.
With the raised level of expectations, I suspect we'll see extensive training and certification being required of all election workers. Additionally with the infrequency of our elections the only way to attain and maintain this level will require elimination of polling places and centralized handling through ballots being collected through the mail and drop boxes. There's no other realistic way, is there?
