I sympathize with sponsors, but NO WAY will we leave ballots unattended over night and risk having same poll workers not show up OR having different poll workers show up instead. Chain of Attended Custody is too important for Trust in Election Integrity.

Hand-counting can increase transparency and public confidence, particularly in high-turnout areas, but must be practical and secure.
