Why the French elections are less likely to be rigged. [View all]

Even thought it's a country of 70million people, we vote with paper ballots. You grab a stack of papers with the name of candidates, go into a booth and stick the one you like in a little envelope. It's dropped in a transparent box in plain view. You then sign the register and they say "a vote ".

Yet, this is usually counted within a few hours. No suspicious voting machine, no hanging chads.
