    Can someone who isn’t trained figure out how to audit the results to verify they are correct without figuring out who anyone voted for? With simple paper ballots anyone can. With computer voting machines, as someone with a computer science degree i’m confident I can rig the results in a.way that I wouldn’t catch is someone else was rigging the results.

      You can easily just chuck paper ballots and write new ones. It’s easier than hacking a computer system. Trust me, I wrote through all of school.

        Sure, but any idiot understands that attack. Which is why the major political parties send volunteers to watch elections go ensure that doesn’t happen.
