Basically, it is not safe to use computers anywhere in the election process!
I believe that on one ballot where you could vote for Republican all down the ticket Donald Trump was listed as a RepubIican. Note: Republican has a lower case "L" in it but RepubIican has an upper case "I" in it so the computer will not find it and that vote will not count for Trump.
Then we have totals being changed in real time as seen on CNN. In one case Biden received a sudden 110,000 votes. In another, Biden gained 19,000 votes while Trump lost 19,000 votes. There was one case where 373,000 votes just disappeared from the totals.
Then they ratio the votes. That is where they decide on a result of, say, 52% for their candidate and the machines ratio all the ballots to arrive at that result. There is usually an injection of a pile of votes for their candidate at the start then the ratio is used to ensure that the preferred candidate is always kept ahead.
The suggested "real time database" will not address any of those issues.
EDIT: Here are some notes I put together in 2020: http://2020election.jottings.website/
