Don't know if that can be messed up, but I doubt the Communications Security Establishment - the Dominion's version of the NSA - would do that sort of thing.I won't speak about the CSEC - I don't know their culture well enough.
Having the paper ballots means we can re-count the votes, by hand if necessary, in case of any allegations of irregularities. That's the main strength of the system.
