I think a better way to count votes would be through blockchain. Everyone gets 1 PREScoin, SENcoin, HOUSEcoin, etc, or whatever you want to call them, that can only be obtained by proving your identity at the county clerk's office. The candidate with the most at the end of election day wins.

That just became my new favorite code snip
The machine you feed your ballot into broke when I fed my ballot into it. They told me to wait for the greenlight and after 15 or 20 awkward seconds I asked, “is this normal?“ No.
All the poll workers gathered around and assured me that they’d have to do a lot of extra work and wait for specially accredited volunteers to hand count the votes.
I’m just standing there awkwardly thinking that Scantron technology has been reliable for the past three decades.
I thanked them all for volunteering and let them know that I was completely confident that things would be handled well.
Maybe it was writing in “Ted Kaczynski“ that did it. A name so offensive to the AI that it causes the local node to self destruct. /s
Seriously though, things are a little fishy, but that is kind of the norm. A lot has been written about the consequences of “noticing things.“
Edited; changed note to node
They do run tests and checks etc One Example Here, it's a little old but still could be useful - PDF WARNING a brief read of this can reveal some of the things you may be asking.

Most commercial cnc programs are 5000-20000 lines long, by the way. Homebrew cnc is only 200-500 lines long. But then you buy cnc programs rather than write your own b-list shit.

There's no reason for it to be thousands of lines. An online shop that has multiple categories of products, calculates shipping, tax, etc. only needs about 10k lines of code. I can't imagine they need more than 100 to count votes. There's also no reason for something that I can write in a day or two to be proprietary.
