you have paper as the source of truth. Sample paper counts look them up in the aggregated computer count, if they don't match exactly invalidate the count and get the raw ballots.
Really it is serious, but not so serious as when you have no paper as your source of truth, USA.
- r00fus 9y agoSo here's how I'm thinking the exploit could work: 1) fudge the tabulations so your candidate wins 2) if successful, then go back and bribe/hide/spoil the paper ballots. The goal is you often don't have to do #2 if either #1 is very successful (i.e., push the margin over the recount range) or if #1 is a complete failure (competitor won't care - he/she will have won anyway).
- Amezarak 9y agoThe US situation varies by state. Most states do have paper ballots. https://ballotpedia.org/Voting_methods_and_equipment_by_state https://ballotpedia.org/Voting_methods_and_equipment_by_stat...
