Do the math.
If you want to make sure nothing is modified (even a lossless compression algorithm could possibly be challenged in court), that means storing raw image data. At 600dpi, 24 bit, an 8.5x11 scan is 100MB per side, Front and back. 200MB per page. Time 2 million ballots, That is 400++ TB's. Now add a second scan under UV light. So figure a PetaByte. Now if you increase to 1200 dpi, that is 4 PB's. That is a few hundred 10TB drives in a massive RAID array.
It is very conceivable.
Comic Sans is the only way.
I'm the secretary of my HOA board and I got heckled for using Comic Sans
Note: It doesn't have to be in RAID, and could have several negatives depending on configuration that would make that even less efficient
