Just so. There can always be tiny nits in the numbers, but the delta between the pollbook, the unused ballots, and the counts will be vanishingly small. With enough people involved, and small enough pollbooks (local county maxes out ~4k per polling place) there is a good tradeoff between: - maximizing participation - keeping the integrity of the process - minimizing fraud As with encrypting data, there really isn't any way to make the process completely bullet proof; the task is to make real fraud infeasible.
