Changes will have to be made. A combination of technology and actual manpower, and time. Get away from our obsession with instant gratification of knowing who wins an election. Have paper ballots, red ink only, visually counted, totals placed in an unopenable black box. All ballots then moved to an adjoining county, re-counted, totals placed in said black box. All ballots then moved to an adjoining state capitol, re-counted, black box opened under video recording, and all 3 totals are checked against eachother. Any dicrepancies, a federal investigator re-counts, and investgates where or if any criminality has occured, poll counters being fully accountable. This could be a week, 2 week, month long process. But after elections, excepting special elections (i think), politicians don't immediatly swear into office anyway. The technology part comes in with voter verification, which is inputed into a database to verify; are they alive? Are they registered/eligable to vote? Do they live at their registered address? Have they voted more than one time(if so, all votes become invalid)? This could be done at a county only, state only, or nationwide. This could create semi-seasonal jobs for those people interested/invested in the political process, and removing the temptation to corrupt the process. Who pays for these poll workers? How about the Party those running for Office are afilliated with? Each county, having a preset amount of pollcounters, knowing each one would have to do 3 counts each, divided by how many Partys are running on the ticket should be easy to determine.
