A big difference between Canada and the US is that in the US the "vote" is practically never for a single question, but for a much larger set of questions. You could still count by hand, but it takes longer.

There are also more people in the US (around ten times more). You could still count votes by hand in US, but it would take more people or time to do it.

Ah yeah, we have definitely had multi-referendum votes. Still done on paper. For example, here's the ballot paper for most recent one we had in BC [0] (with only two questions): https://3yvac3s24fb2wj4gx27tcv71-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-...
