5,000 votes that went all for one person at one time and from the same placeI don't think that state of the art computer systems use tapes, and in a system that requires both data and operations security, I would think everything would be stored on disk drives that are routinely and periodically copied elsewhere to another location, perhaps more than one. From delivery trucks to people opening the ballots to people feeding them into the scanners to people storing the ballots after that, it can all be monitored by security people who are not employed by the companies that supplied any of the equipment. No one would know who's watching, or who reviews the proceedings or who checks the monitors for any interference. And other people could be receiving data real time over any anomalies, such as 5,000 votes that went all for one person at one time and from the same place. If it's done right, it would be all but impossible to manipulate any relevant process from start to finish.
How about link
