But they send final results in electronically on election night. So, the final, total results can be tampered with. Then you would have prove it and ask for a recount. Who pays for that? We went through all that with Gore/Bush. It's not as cut and dry as most people think. The machines can also be hacked to count more for one candidate than the other. The system needs a lot more security.
