Not in a two party system. You really still only need to hack just one model of voting machines to steal the election, since the margins are so small.


The same goes for the paper ballots. You don't need to fix the vote everywhere.


With paper ballots you must make sure that most people at the voting stations are part of the conspiracy, which is tricky because all major parties will have representatives on each station. It’s possible you will get away with it in a few small places, but even that is hard.


Which incredibly difficult to do on scale, unless you rig the whole system. In which case voting is just a fig leave anyway.
