How long before the trail is too cold to get an honest count? |

Give the kind of careless attention given to voting records that Bev and Andy have uncovered in Florida, I'm very concerned that we'll ever get an honest count in either Florida or Ohio.
I mean, how hard would it be to create a whole new paper trail out of whole cloth? A day or two after the election, pretty hard. But a month later? The very nature of a secret ballot makes these things easy to counterfeit. And, in both cases, look whose guarding the records.

As of January 1st, 2000 at the absolute latest. Possibly before the candidates were announced.
We can give up on honest elections. They don't exist anymore.

2. Certain things like more votes than registered voters, exit poll, and |

more voters than voting age population are NOT going away.

But I share the concern about counterfeiting or destruction of physical evidence. Without that as proof, we've really got nothing actionable. Worse, if a counterfeit paper trail can be created, it can be used as "proof" that there was no fraud.
What security measures exist for the physical evidence?
