15. I agree with you that the ease and scale of of rigging
punch machines is very different than with e-voting.

One draw back (or it used to be considered a drawback, until we got the black boxes) was undervotes.

Have you read the book Vote Scam? It deals with a documented casew of election rigging in Miami/Dade in the early 70's

I read the first 5 chapter (which are online for free here) http://www.votescam.com/chapters.php


It's a facinating story. It deals with rigging punch machings. But as you say, it isn't easy and it's much more liable to be discovered by a real investigation.
