You see, 90% of WI uses optical scan ballots COUNTED BY MACHINE. The documented hack for optical scan ballots is a preload system where the scanner miscounts the ballots by a predetermined margin.

In that case, not only could the "hackers" lose, but they would leave behind evidence of their attempt to cheat in the form of the paper ballots.

The worst possible scenario (from the standpoint of the cheaters) happened: there was to be a recount. So, at the last second, enough votes were found to swing the election AND STOP THE RECOUNT. Riiiight....
