To handle the millions of ballots, we don’t need big changes, just personnel:
Each mailman on the route, separates the ballots as he picks them up: mail crate, ballot crate, moved etc. crate. You get the idea. Each mail carrier presorts.
When he gets to his post office they put them in a box then in secure location.
The PO gathers them up, and postmarks them by any quick, simple, reasonably secure method.
From there they are transported to a counting station by an authorized person.
Counting is strictly manpower.
I found out recently Fort Jackson military base has 70,000 troops. Certainly 50,000 counters would be helpful, there are laid off people, military, college students. etc. You get the idea.
All you need is to a double count for accuracy, then machine tabulate.
I did vote tabulation in the ‘70’s in college. It’s all about the manpower, and it is a boring, thankless job, and the last place you would try to cheat. (It reminded me of sitting at a BINGO table with a bunch of olfactory challenged senior citizens.)
So in a sense the diversification of the letter carriers becomes the first line of defense.
