Why do you need a "supercomputer?" It isn't like analyzing election data requires heavy computations, such as factoring prime numbers or doing proof-of-work. A regular multi-core gaming PC should be more than sufficient for ANY election measurement task...
I was typing something in agreement then it dawned on me why you might need super computing: To decrypt the data streams into plain tabulated numbers. I imagine the data when transferred is encrypted. I heard somewhere there is a Qubit computer somewhere fully hired out - that would (taking it at face value) allow the streams of data to be decrypted in realtime, and then the returned data to be also decrypted and then you can compare the two and see exactly what was changed during the hop (US to italy to frankfurt or whatever really happened) between locations.
If you can show your decryption of the returned data matches the reported false result, then that must mean your decryption of the real result on its way out of the country, prior to manipulation, must also be accurate (if the process is identical)... If you have some unimpeachable witnesses to this process (in a bunker on election night) then you have irrefutable proof witnessed and notarised already in hand.
Yeah in theory a quantum computer could be used to break SSL encryption, but I do not know that any quantum computers exist with enough qubits to do that.
