The article is trying to combat a bad faith initiative with factual information. The truth is that adding delays and uncertainty to the process are the goals, not just some unhappy byproducts. Delays and uncertainty make room for contesting results you don’t like. That’s the whole plan.

Somehow India is able to process 600+MM ballots in one day. Speed in counting is possible.
India has a centrally managed federal voting administration. The US has an extremely layered and very distributed system managed by each state and county. There are different trade offs here but these are completely different ways to run elections and thus have different speeds.
Ultimately they are tallying individual votes. The units are not harder to count in one system vs another. Maybe localities have processes that slow things down, but if that is the case, they can look to institute the processes of districts/counties that count quicker.
