This is a lot easier said than done.

I have lost count of how many times I shot down people saying "I can hack the Brazilian voting machines" by citing hardware, software, and process countermeasures. I won't say we thought about everything (I worked on it in 2001-2002) but we thought a LOT about it and couldn't come up with one single idea that wouldn't fail in an obvious, easily detectable, manner.
