When all the votes are counted this year, Americans should have far more confidence their votes were tallied correctly than in 2016.
After that contest was upended by Russian interference, states vastly increased the number of votes that are cast with paper records that can be audited later. More than 90 percent of votes will have a paper record this year compared with about 80 percent in 2016.
States have also significantly improved how often and how scrupulously they perform post-election audits.
The changes have been especially significant in some of the states ... contested by Trump.
Georgia and Pennsylvania have both shifted from having paper records for few or none of their voters in 2016 to having paper records for all votes cast in their states — a protection security experts say is a bare minimum to ensure votes weren’t altered by hackers or miscounted because of a technology failure.
The Cybersecurity 202: More states now have paper trails to verify votes were correctly counted

I question all of the election. All of it. I've never approved of any system without a paper trail. But the paper trail isn't even reliable. Whatever came of that 1/2 truckload of ballots shipped to Philly, that was delayed at the loading dock for all of a (8 hour) working day? Apparently filled-out ballots waiting to be counted, if necessary, but since they weren't needed, they were sent somewhere to be destroyed.
I'm not sure we can trust the results of any election in any state this time around, and certainly not in the designated "battle states".
