1. How does it make any sense to employ “vote-switching” software if it is easily detected through a manual recount?

2. If the election is rigged by having millions of ballots cast illegally, then why is the “vote-switching” software even needed?

1) If the "win" is pushed through quickly enough, there won't be a manual recount. The winners can make sure of that. Besides, the ballots can always get "lost".

2) The traditional methods require lesser skills and are generally more reliable. Not all places use the newer computer applications with the available gimmicks, so in some cases you have to go back to basics.

But if you want real-time fraudulent totals reported on the the major networks, nothing can beat a good computer application that can adjust the tallies while you watch.

If the gimmicks work properly, you can have this project wrapped up by 10:00PM for the national networks to call your candidates the "winners". Who could possibly argue with that?
