Attention electronic ballot thieves: Nebraska statutes will help you get away with rigging an election!

In Nebraska, if you screw with a voting machine, but aren't subtle enough to do it without attracting undue attention and there is a recount, rest assured that the same software or hardware you altered in the first place will be used — rather than a hand count — to recount the ballots. It's the law!
     AKSARBENT bets that hacking Huey Longs love this law as much as slipshod voting machine manufacturers, not that any exist in Nebraska whose incompetence (or worse) might be hidden by such a statute, mind you.
Nebraska Revised Statute 32-1119:
...(6) The procedures for the recounting of ballots shall be the same as those used for the counting of ballots on election day. The recount shall be conducted at the county courthouse, except that if vote counting devices are used for the counting or recounting, such counting or recounting may be accomplished at the site of the devices. Counties counting ballots by using a vote counting device shall first recount the ballots by use of the device. If substantial changes are found, the ballots shall then be counted using such device in any precinct which might reflect a substantial change.
