I was coming to the comments to write this reminds me of Terry Davis, may be rest in peace. It might sound strange but Terry provided me with inspiration and a reminder that anything can be created or “Willed into existence”.
fun fact, last year I had a contractor come to my house. He was a very nice guy. After he was done we were talking and it turned out he was terry’s brother… He told me a lot of stories about him and his life, mental health and death. Pretty sad and interesting..

I still have my first recorded CD from 94 early 95 with a beta version of windows 95 plus some other utilities from the time, it still reads fine.

Or the compromise (or cooperation) of a few of the software supply chain components used to program the chipset of the voting machines. Or the development machines used to write and upload the voting software. Or the foundry used to cast the chips. You think if e.g. China devoted ~5 years of their best hacking group's time to this, they couldn't do it? Because that's a very low price to pay to sway the election of a country such as Brazil.

Audited how? Do they plug in a USB, download the software, and verify that it matches the (hopefully open-source, ideally formally verified) code it's supposed to be running?
Let's say it matches - how can they trust that the code the USB port emitted, is what is actually running?
they seize random voting machines from polling sessions and input a known amount of votes for each candidate and match them with the ending totals. (just one kind of audit they do)
