Undervote rates in my small rural county soard from 700-800 before the electronics to 4,000-5,000 immediately after the electronics were installed.

How do you know the under vote rate wasn't undercounted in the past and a better count is available when its electronic?

I would assume it should be relatively easy to run a diagnostic program by a third party developer both before and during an election on a spot basis to insure against tampering that could certify the machines working as expected.

Thank you for your interesting point!

(I had reported that the undervote rate went from 700-800 to 4,000-5,000 with the electronics.}

You said:

"How do you know the under vote rate wasn't undercounted in the past and a better count is available when its electronic?"

The way this is known is that, historically, the undervote rate ranges from 1-3%. The paperless electronic system to which I refer caused undervote rates to soar to as high as 70-80%.
