How do you do "bipartisan counting" and validation in an all digital voting system? Reading the same digital information twice, doesn't verify it.

If you have paper ballots, sure, but the US does not have paper ballots in some states and won't by the next national election. And even if they did (as many do), few states have a uniform system of random vote audits.

So I'm not sure what you're referring to with this:

> There are enough checks in the system (bipartisan counting and validation committees) that a pure digital compromise of an election that would not be flagged and detected is very small.

I literally read the Diebold Voting machine source code (and tabulator) that was leaked (twice). There's nothing remotely like that in there. There's no facility to do that. And while most of those are now retired, there's similar machines that work exactly the same way still in usage.
