I have no idea. The counterpoint would be everything could progress the same exact way, just nothing made public until "Selection Friday" or whatever. So logs of results could still be reported to R and D challengers/officials internally, but nothing public till later?

This is so far outside of my wheelhouse. I'm just trying to think creatively. And my definition of the problem is less the system itself and more the way it's reported. System itself seems to stand up very well against fraud and for accuracy (look at recent recounts, for ex)

Why not enforce reporting compliance (let's say some sort of federally mandated API) but let states have a say in counting. Radical transparency w/o the fear (real or imagined) of a DC overlord.
