Key Facts on Election Technology
Ballot marking devices and tabulators do two different jobs: marking a ballot and counting it. Neither one can "flip" a vote.
Voting equipment is tested publicly before every election, and paper ballots are checked by hand afterward to confirm the count matches.
Voting machines aren't connected to the internet during voting or counting.
Results go through multiple independent checks — pre-election testing, post-election audits, and recounts when required — before they're certified.
