So where is this simple way? If the system sways 1% of votes from SF to 
FF, no-one would really
notice, would they? But it could quite easily affect who gets elected.

What was the one in Belgium where one representative got 4096 more votes 
than he should have?
Which was only picked up because he got more votes than the rest of his 
party or something?

VVAT would remove the requirement to test the machines any more than 
they already have been,
because they would be tested in use.
