TFA is about the US. It cites cases where hand counting has resulted in higher error rates in the US.
Voting machines are have proven to be reliable in the US. Dominion Voting continues to rack up huge defamation wins in court over this. You're just FUDding.
You let machines count your money don't you? Who insists on a hand count of the currency to verify your monthly checking or brokerage account? They don't even count cash by hand, it's all done via machines.

That's a terrible analogy, and it's impossible to list all the reasons why.
Money doesn't work like ballots. All ballots are the same value, and each voter is entitled to one only.
If the pennies in my account are miscounted, I certainly won't give a damn.
Voting machines are far easier to hack than human processes, and there have been numerous presentations on this particular topic.
American politics being off the deep end is an entirely different topic.
