What kind of fraud was committed with the manual counting? Here in Sweden I would be more worried about electronic voting than the current manual counting, but

  > What kind of fraud was committed with the manual counting? Here in Sweden Trust me, your country is very different from the rest of the world and I mean that in a good sense (such as a parameter of good governance). This a country with more than 180 million people and mandatory vote, elections here are massive. Every time someone touches a vote there is a chance for it to be defrauded or replaced. In the past, stories of lost and inflated ballots and replaced votes where trivial. Because a lot of the voters are poor another trick was to give to the voter an already marked vote and demand the original valid one back so the candidate could buy a vote in a election.

    I still wonder if most of these problems could not be fixed by changing the manual system. > Because a lot of the voters are poor another trick was to give to the voter an already marked vote and demand the original valid one back so the candidate could buy a vote in a election. For example wouldn't it be trivial to make this impossible? Simply make sure people can get more than one paper and there would be no original vote that could be used as proof. They would have to have a guy standing there watching you which would work with voting machines too.
