It's gotten a lot more sophisticated now, with digital systems that are networked... As Shawn Smith has said, it's like going from pickpocketing to credit card fraud. I've worked as a software engineer. You can make a computer tell you anything. It's partly a matter of how ethical system developers are. Our election systems are manufactured in China, and the security on them is basically non-existent; extremely easy to hack.
To give people some clue, what you said about "let's see how many votes we need," is why we have early voting, and why some locales "keep counting" for more than a week after an election. It gives the cheaters time to figure out what they need. This is why election integrity experts have said do away with early voting, mail ballots, and do away with the extended counting periods. Just vote on Election Day, and do it in person. Ideally, get rid of the digital election systems entirely. All they're doing is enabling "black box voting," where votes go in, "something happens," and you get a result, but you can't see how it was derived.
We remember when elections were decided by election night, or the next day. Nothing's changed about how fast votes can be counted. Political interests just wanna cheat.
