    Then there's an enormous scandal, a criminal investigation which hopefully leads to prosecutions and the election is rerun?

    It would be extremely messy and obvious; which to my mind is the huge benefit of paper ballots over virtual ones.


    (unless your suggesting that in a Fianna Fail heartland every single person at the count centre would be willing participants in electoral fraud, which is maybe a little bit unfair to FF party members and voters)

    I'm suggesting that by this means you have possibly achieved what you wanted. Not sure what a criminal investigation would do... what evidence would you have?

    So the objective of a very large and very risky criminal enterprise is to cause an election to be rerun a few weeks/months later? Does that really make any sense?


    And as for evidence, that really depends on your plans for HOW/WHEN you plan to stuff the votes. Would you like to explain that please?

    Researchers find trapdoor in SwissVote election system
    researchers say this could allow insiders who ran or implemented the election system to modify votes undetected.

    IT security is very difficult to get right. For amateurs like the people who usually do evoting systems it's well nigh impossible.


    Something like Brexit is costing billions and there's billions more to be made if you knew whether it was Deal or No Deal. Or forget the money because China , Russian , North Korea, Iran , take your pick of nation-states that would throw resources at changing an election if it suited them.
