> The machines did not allow a recount.

This is insane on so many levels. How would you even technically implement that? You'd have to make an effort to design the system like that.

Why would anyone, anywhere, EVER, put in place a voting system that doesn't allow a recount?

Paper ballots don't magically, invisibly, change over time or suddenly become uncountable or un-inspectable.




Oh, I'm sure that you can think of lots of reasons if your possible motivations include corruption.

Every kind of voting system that has been created has also been corrupted somehow, somewhere.
