If I understand it a free particle is not really quantised; it can have pretty much any wavelength. But when it is confined by boundary conditions (e.g. within an atom) we then get interference and reinforcement in the wave equations.

You don't need to hack voting machines. If you control the body that allocates them in your area you send more of them to areas favourable to your desired outcome. So in other areas the lines get too long and some people don't get to vote. That alone will swing things a few percent.

In QM random outcomes occur. By what mechanism are the random values chosen? Many Worlds has a plausible mechanism for this. I'm unaware of any other interpretation claiming the same.

You are in A wondering why you are in A. You are also in B wondering why you are in B, and so on. It's all perfectly consistent.
