That’s awesome for Brazil. They discovered a perfect flawless man made system. I completely believe it is entirely tamper proof. It’s much easier to change whole datasets than to edit enough paper ballots to make a difference in a vote where many millions of people have submitted paper votes. Ctrl+a, del… Goodbye data. Not that it’s possible to do in the Brazilian system. But it certainly is possible in many databases…
That’s why it doesn’t work like that. The voting machines each have their own count and are not connected to anything, not to each other, or a central system.
At the end of voting day each prints a tally of votes, that is both sent to the central counting, and displayed publicly so that the citizens can cross-verify that the official count is correct.
And as I said, there are multiple systems to guarantee that individual machines, or batches are not tampered.
Somehow Brazil makes it work, there are many many layers of redundancy so that any tampering would not affect the result, or be obvious.
