It is but parties have their watchers spread around the country to report counts to their central. Any substantial difference will be noted and end up in a recount.
What saves us is the mistrust between parties. With internet voting watching each other would be more difficult. Actually I believe that there will be no internet voting where parties really don't trust each other. There will be internet voting were parties are very naive (almost impossible for politicians) or they somewhat agree not to rig the elections (again, too naive to believe?) or to decide them in advance.
