And couldn't you just have one flat log file as an append-only ledger of all the votes? Maybe add a time stamp and location stamp to each prime recorded for context.

Found this gem. https://primes.utm.edu/lists/small/millions/

1 million primes is about 2mb zipped. Even with additional information, a national election result of 130 million votes could fit on a CD.

The beauty of this is we have a completely transparent record that requires no unique software to view or test. No black boxes, and no magic beyond the magic of primes.
