The ability to get the vote precisely right is up to the taxpayers' will to do so. No system that includes human counting will ever be completely accurate. All you can do is the best you can do.

Electronic machines in Montgomery Cty PA are very reliable and they post the count from each machine at the end of the night. My ex was an election official so I've seen it. This is a pretty good system. It is pretty hard to massively fraud these things as far as I can see. The human counts of the past are much more likely to be inaccurate.
