I keep seeing comments about how Canada avoided a similar fate because of its strict use of paper ballots; the US must have changed its system to include these electronic and possibly not airgapped machines.

    Yes cause so much harder to modify a paper ballot, especially the mailed ones

    Correct. It is. Because to do enough to change the result you need to do it alot, and that’s really hard to get away with.

    In Canada we count the ballots with witnesses (called scutineers) to validate.
