There's many techniques and practices of creating trust and more resilient election processes:

0. international independent observers following the entire chains-of-custody of votes and the tallying process

1. vote as did the Greeks or Googlers' for their lunch: place a physical token in the particular container for a given candidate, and then weigh them and measure their volume. There's no hanging chads or ambiguity.

2. place non-partisan, professionals with integrity in-charge of and with elections

3. seek a wide pool of volunteers, and randomly assign them

4. randomized double/triple/quad verify chain-of-custody at key activity steps to reduce chances of many types of impropriety

5. transparency: lots of public live video streams of election process areas as it's occurring
