Speaking from past experience, two worked well, which means three people
independently counting the votes (the secretary and the two
scrutineers). Any difference, quite rightly, would need to be checked
and agreed upon. This includes emails that weren’t sent to the correct
addresses because of obvious typos, and I agree with Steve that more
addresses means more work.

Would an alias that forwards to the overseers help this? Or does that
defeat some of the point of having them in the first place?
