ANYTHING cam get tampered with if enough doors are left ajar, including
paper ballots (such as discarding, editing, or replacing some).
Perhaps some classification would help the thinking:
What is simple for most anyone to do?
What requires skill in prying the doors open?

James,
Nice sales piece for electronic ballot rigging machines that fails to
mention that it is impossible to ensure that e-votes are not tampered
with.
Here is a great film done by graduate students at the University of
California, Santa Barbara in their Computer Security Group who show
how easy it is to rig elections with any e-ballot voting machines - in
four different ways that would subvert any post-election audits -
because even the voter verifiable paper ballot records are easily
rigged to match fraudulent vote totals:

The graduate students' film is easy for any lay person to understand.
It requires no computer expertise to follow.
It is amazing the utter cr-- that voting machine vendors and election
officials continue to put out to the press that is contrary to all
fact and common sense.
Cheers,
Kathy
