In this day and age of computers, and with the scientific advances we don’t even know about, I am sure that there is a way to secure the tally even if fed into a national data base. Where there is a will, there is a way. Individual districts may need to transport results to the state capitols and proceed from there. Make election fraud a Capitol offense punishable by life in prison or the death penalty and that will curtail the majority of fraud. Anyone involved in the voting system must have a thorough background check, including bank accounts, and be licensed. As it stands now, any half wit, uneducated ignoramus can handle ballots. Without repercussions of a strict and swift nature, those individuals are easily corrupted.
