@lookitmychicken @GreenSkyOverMe @koolhand in Germany, rach polling station counts their own ballots, which is why we're so fast.
Does that work for preference voting? After all, party A might have a majority in *this* polling station, so it wouldn't need further counting, but overall in the district party A might not reach the majority, so all polling stations would have to count the second option?
Or am I misunderstanding the process?
