17. unfortunately that's true
it used to be stuffing the ballot box and now it's clearing memory sticks. Stephen Spoonamore said that the memory chips could be set, for example, so that candidate A starts at "0" votes. Then candidate B could be set a -100 votes. So to even get to "0", 100 people would have to vote for candidate B. scary shit!!
