This is the side of election fraud never spoken of, and hard to detect. Unless people access the ballot images.
Election integrity experts say this may be far more of a problem than voting from graveyards. Those take time to fill out. Machine hacking can add or subtract 100, 1000, or 10,000 votes from a candidate with about the same small number of keystrokes.

Evidence of Machine Hacking for Biden Comes Out in Michigan: Citizens Should Demand the Ballot Images
Evidence of vote-counting machine hacking has emerged in Michigan. Republican officials are questioning how a deep red county like Antrim, which went 62% - 32% Trump over Clinton in 2016, and 60% - 38%Romney over Obama in 2012, could suddenly flip to 62% Biden to 38% Trump. Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula have always been notoriously red.
The concern is not the small number of votes in the one small county, but the possibility that the weakness in the vote-counting machine used across Michigan, Imagecast Precinct, may have been used in less noticeable ways to build Biden's slim margin across the state.
A Michigan state representative has called the results in Antrim County "upside down."
In election watching parlance, this is primary evidence of a machine hack. Machine hacking is when optical vote-counting machines are hacked to add or subtract votes erroneously, to deliver an advantage to a candidate. If there is one thing only that optical scan machine must be able to do very precisely, it is to count votes. And they do. But not when they are programmed specifically to alter those votes.
At the annual Def Con Annual Hacking Conference in Las Vegas, the hacking of vote-counting machines has been called "child's play."
