South Dakota Counties Consider Returning to Hand Counting Amid Unfounded Election Fraud Claims

The counties, with fewer than 6,000 residents each, could become the first in the U.S. to require manual ballot counts. Supporters of the change believe it will enhance security and transparency, but opponents cite concerns over accuracy, cost, and time constraints.
