Evidence of paper ballots being tampered with, in my opinion, is a very useful/good thing. It means it’s possible to get caught.

As I’ve mentioned in a previous comment:

This is survivorship bias. Instead:

1. Assume that there are enough high-powered actors to want to rig an election

2. Note that confirmed case of a rigged election happens through paper absentee ballots

3. Note that there are very few known cases of a rigged election happening through electronic voting machines.

4. One probable conclusion is that election rigging is possible and undetectable through electronic voting machines.
