No doubt they smell money. But the problem is still noisy systems and what happens when any choice comes down to a difference of a few voters. Reliability and granularity. Information systems at their best and worst. Like the web and the economy: you can distribute faster, but you can't change the rules of distribution. They can improve the count by degrees. A close count comes down to a control. The election.com processes may make it worse. Now election officials inspect switch states and count bytes instead of chads.
