Would you be able to have code that does the fraud and then deletes the offensive bits?

There are so many points of failure - the whole system stinks from top to bottom. Just tabulating in foreign nations presents a thousand holes to exploit.

In a well designed system there should be a FULL audit trail from the ballot to the final count, that anyone can go back and verify each step.

Why do banks never get their numbers wrong?

Banks do get their numbers wrong. But they keep their mouths shut and eat the errors if necessary. Database recovery program developers know this is true.

To do that, you would have to have a CPU that could overwrite it's own code and I don't think that is possible. You could do that with a coprocessor and if the exact location of the code on the CPU was known, which would be easy, then you could have it so that at a certain time, that code was overwritten with a harmless and unsuspecting comment, but, then the code on the coprocessor would be there, showing what storage loations were overwritten, or it could delete its own firmware but then you'd have this blank coprocessor sitting there connected to the main CPU like "what's this for?". We would have to forensically analyze the hardware and the software, which is possible.

Don't worry the nations most trusted organization is on it, the FBI.

What the fuck are you jabbering about? Of course code can delete itself.

You underestimate the unlimited skills of the Venezuelan and Serbian programmers LOL

It wouldn’t take that. Just some code to clean up after itself... I’ve written a few exploits in my day
