"The best safeguard we have against hacked or otherwise faulty voting systems is a Risk-Limiting Audit (RLA). Experts believe that RLAs are the most efficient way to gain certainty that the winner reported by the voting system is correct.
The RLA is efficient because of its insight that we do not need to manually recount every vote to gain certainty in the outcome of an election. Instead, the number of votes we need to manually count depends on the margin of victory in the contest we’re auditing. A typical state-wide RLA might require checking fewer than 1000 ballots to validate an entire state’s election results."
This actually may be something, good find! I'm surprised it hasn't been reposted a million times over yet.
Don’t worry it will be.

Or to detect anomalies.
