WHY THE FUCK ARE OUR VOTES STILL COUNTED BY HAND WHEN EVERY FUCKING TIME THERE'S SOME MASSIVE MISTAKE LIKE A WHOLE STACK THAT WASN'T COUNTED OR 6000 VOTES THAT WERE WRONGFULLY ASSIGNED TO A PARTY I AM LIVID
if you were wondering, dutch voting happens on paper, we then throw the little papers in a garbage bin, this gets emptied in a large room and people count the votes by hand
we don't vote electronically because of the chance at hacking of the voting computer things
and every time a mistake has been found in the counting the last few years the eventuality is 'no we don't need a recount' even when that whole stack of votes was just forgotten
we also have had the same minister president for over 10 years at this point and he has been in more political scandals that I can count
i'm very aware that there are also positive sides to this type of voting but....
