But what does it do about voting computers switching votes?
There is a good paper+digital audit trail for that.
It starts with retaining paper ballots printed and reviewed by the voter, the county retaining those paper ballots, the county retaining images (from scanner) from every precinct, and retaining one of two disc drives from the scanner. County totals all precinct (all traceable and auditable) and reporting totals.to the secretary of state election office. Numbers must match from paper ballots ( where you can see the votes but not voter) all the way to state totals.
That’s not all the steps.but it’d be really hard to fudge the numbers and not go undetected, and that check can be performed rapidly.
PS the number of ballots and checkins MUST match.the number of voted every hour, and that is done at every precinct and those checks are recorded on paper and called in to the county at least twice a day.
