The way to minimize the risk is to not use voting machines.

  The insistence of pro-machines is tiring. There is no argument in favor, in France with <5% voting machines, we know who’s the president with 95% certainty at 20:00:02 through television (through surveys, of course). So the argument “but it’s a big country!” doesn’t stand - France is already 67m. OTOH, if I were a foreign power intent on falsifying an american election, I’d push as hard as I can for voting machines.

    Same in situation in Germany. Polls close at 18:00 and 18:01 everybody knows the general results. It will only change by ~0.1% over the next 1-2 days and only really matters if a party is close to the 5% hurdle.
