Evidently you’ve never voted a machine.

When you finished selecting, you have a choice to review all your choices on one screen. You can change any if you like and push the button.

I wouldn’t think the machine could change anything after that.

BTW, Machines are different in different places, I guess.
I vote with a rotating select button and ID.

“I wouldn’t think the machine could change anything after that.”

The machine can do absolutely flaming anything it is programmed to do. It can display a vote for X when it tallied a vote for Y. It can tally up the votes and produce an arbitrary percentage win for Z. The math and the programming here is sub-trivial.

I am saying that if you were trying to manipulate an election process that uses some type of electronic voting that you would do it like this:

The voting machine would not show you that it changed your vote. It would change it, behind the scenes.

Oh I have voted plenty of times with machines—in DuPage County, IL, if you vote early, it is a machine ballot. If you vote election day,. it is paper. I always prefer to vote election day.

I have wondered if votes could be changed later. I don’t think it would be all that difficult to do from a programming standpoint.

...Numerous TV shows and movies have had plots based on just that...ABC TV series Scandal being the first one to come to my mind.
