Well, first off you have to use fractional numbers instead of whole numbers (integers) because that facilitates the weighted election option. Next your program has to do a good job of 'covering up the footprints' so to speak of your audit trail. That way when your customer (the SoS or his designate) uses the program's back door access to change the election result, the audit trail is 'sanitized'. These are great selling points to corrupt elected officials. It helps them to extend their Dominion over the hapless serfs, I mean citizens of their state.
