That difference may not be accurate, though. It's assuming there is a way of networking between the machines and that code will be portable enough to affect N number of machines. I don't think either is necessarily true.
Even for the paper side. Most paper ballets are counted by machine so they could easily be tampered with at the count or when they're printed having a similar scale.

- BinaryIdiot 9y agoHmm, not off hand. I'll see what I can find. It was my understanding from the hanging chad situation in Florida years ago that, at least in the states, most are initially counted by machine. Edit: Here you go. I couldn't find research or a study regarding it but this is probably good enough and was always my experience when I voted by paper: https://www.wired.com/2016/11/vote-counts-ballot-get-counted/ https://www.wired.com/2016/11/vote-counts-ballot-get-counted...

- jeltz 9y agoWe count them twice by hand here in Sweden and we get the preliminary result just a few hours after the polls close, so I do not see why one has to use a machine.
- BurningFrog 9y ago> I do not see why one has to use a machine. One reason is that Americans vote a lot more than Swedes. Here in California I have probably ~100 elections to vote in for each I had in Sweden.
