    Why does the state need to count votes quickly? Votes should be counted accurately, not quickly.

    Total number of votes cast doesn’t really change anything, because total number of counters and witnesses can also be increased relatively. The USA has a 5 times larger population than the UK but that doesn’t mean it takes 5 times longer to count.

    And again, accuracy is more important than speed.
