15. i don't think it can reasonably be done. there are so many candidates

in so many states that it seems impossible... this isn't like a presidential election where only a couple of states need to be "switched" to win the election. there are many different types of machines involved over all 50 states, and, for example, here in Minnesota there will be random hand-counting in a few counties and if there is a 5% discrepancy between the hand-count and original machine count, there will be massive hand-counting of the ballots.

we use optical machines and they're older and have been very reliable.
