You know what it takes to get a ballot certified in most states?
-5% of all election machines are randomly audited to make sure the paper ballots match the tape.
-They double check the math at the local level.
-Then at the country level
-Then at the state level...
Each of these steps is observed by both parties and paper ballots are kept in a vault.

To steal just a few thousand of votes would require a conspiracy of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of librarians, Little League coaches, pastors, farmers and firemen. Your neighbors.
Here in Maricopa, teams of Dem and GOP observers sit together and examine each ballot unreadable by the machine.

A young GOP observer just had a minor medical emergency and after her Dem partner walked her to the ambulance in concern, she said "Guess I'm done for the night"...
...because they would never let just one side do the job alone.
The fact that it is taking so long to count the vote is A FEATURE NOT A BUG.

If you mistrust a vast, decentralized election system with a paper trail, would you really rather have everyone vote online into central server and watch for white smoke from the White House chimney?
