@pubbfn It's just a matter of having a efficient process with data entry. They don't report one ballot at a time. Which means they could of separated the pile and/or numbers and reported them separately. The poll and counting sites are publicly available and the data entry will be too.
@MrConRem I'd suggest doing a self-lender loan as well. It's pretty much just a loan that pays yourself back; You just loose some interest over time but it's negligible in return for credit.
