I was thinking about this last night. As a photographer we back up our data so we never lose clients work (some of us using cameras with dual card slots so if one fails we still have it). Anyways we ensure we have the data even if our first source fails. We do this because we may shoot very important once in a lifetime events such as weddings, engagements etc. Hell I have data on my computer, the first external drive and a second external drive.

If this is what happened we MUST stop this process. There is absolutely no excuse for it. If we can launch rockets to space and land parts of them back on earth we can simplify this process as well. Ranked choice voting is faster and easier to document. Print a copy for the voter and print a second copy to be stored in case this happens.
