The corrupt candidates do not need to cheat the figures in the election. They just need to discredit the results. Since most of the electorate may not understand the nature of the delay, the corrupt politicians can use the "failure" of the machines to question the results. They are after "failure of elections" scenario and revert the voting back to the stone age where sticks and stones rather than the peoples choice will rule.
It all boils down to" what is the easiest way to cheat?" Not hacking, that takes time. It's the good old fashioned way of cheating, manual count.
