Iowa has 1,681 precincts. This is not a scalability problem.

Even the simplest CRUDs will have problems when you have 1681 users who must use it and you can't just bounce out the ones who don't get it and chalk it up to bad user fit.

If your CRUD can't handle 1681 users, then you're almost certainly doing something horribly, horribly wrong.

Like, that's "LAMP stack in 2001 hosting someone's blog about cacti wearing sweaters in Duluth" levels of scale.
