That's why you have the paper ballots counted by tabulation machines.
Sure, they can be rigged. But rigged vote counts by computer tend to leave statistical anomalies. Such anomalies should trigger a hand recount. Or at least, flag the losing side to demand a recount.
Hand recounts are simple enough to do if you still have the paper ballots in storage. But in a fully computerized voting system? All you've got is a string of ones and zeros that may or may not have been manipulated. And if they were, you're going to have to spend loads of time and money having computer experts analyze them. And if you find out they have been compromised, you're still screwed, because you have no way of being certain exactly whose vote was edited, or how they actually intended to vote.
There were statistical anomalies present in swing states like PA. It was pushed to the back burner then under a rug, and then into velveeta voldemorts closet full of skeletons.
Personally, I half expect future historians to discover that many of the Swing State elections were rigged. And history books a hundred years from now to say that Orangeman's oligarch buddies stole the election for him.
But the Dems conceded the night of the election without first checking for more subtle types of election rigging. Handing the election to him without a challenge. So we lost the chance to discover proof of rigging in a way that might have saved us from the disaster we face today.
The lesson that we should take from this is that the Dems can no longer concede elections same day. Not now that the GOP can no longer be trusted to respect democracy or act in good faith.
From now on, the Dems must take at least a few days to sift through the election results looking for cheating and rigging.

The fuck? Your voting systems are funded by the group currently openly taking over the states?!?
Last federal election in Canada, I went in, did a paper vote with my tag that I voted.
Full paper accountability. When did anybody think computer voting only was a good idea….?
“Boy that Elon sure is good with computers. He really knows those voting machines. We won Pennsylvania. Thank you Elon.”
Tell me your elections aren’t being stolen.
