Maybe. But keep in mind that they know how many people voted at a given venue. So it's not sufficient to simply add a bunch of ballots, you also have to remove and destroy the same number of legitimate ballots. Maybe the ballots will be timestamped/marked in some way that can't easily be faked? Then you have to use an actual machine, and space out the ballots so it doesn't look suspicious.

That's certainly a concern, especially if the ballots are marked as I mentioned above.
