If only we manually audit the votes against the original hard copy that we'd keep OH WE DO THAT AND IN SOME STATES DID THAT TWICE IN 2020

If the original hard copy is mangled beyond being able to be read, what happens then?

How? Did they receive it that way in the first place? The OP talked about the scanner tearing it which would not destroy the readability of it for audit purposes.

No they did not. They never mentioned scanner, only the machine that opens the envelope, aka shredder.

Reading is fundamental, unless you are a liberal. Then it reads whatever you want it to read.

... so the machine that simply slices the envelope open will somehow tear the entire ballot repeatedly until it can't be read anymore? I'm still not following how you think this happens.
WHAT HAPPENS TO MAIL IN BALLOTS? THEY ARE OPENED BY MACHINES. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ENVELOPES WITH BALLOTS INSIDE GET MANGLED BY THE MACHINES, WHICH IS WHY COUNTY WORKERS CALL THEM "THE SHREDDERS."; WHEN A BALLOT IS DAMAGED BY THE SHREDDER, IT IS REMADE, AND NOT ALL OF THE WORKERS WHO REMAKE THE BALLOTS ARE CAREFUL TO RECREATE THE VOTERS' INTENTIONS.
