it's air gapped. votes are printed before the start of the votes and after it closes. more reliable than a mailbox where you can put fire where you opposition has more votes

Before the voting begins, a report informing there are no votes is printed and placed in the entrance of the voting room for anyone to see. It's called "zerésima", given it shows zero votes.

why? they do so in order to demonstrate it's "clean" before, and after for how many people voted and how many votes each candidate received. People from all parties can see that and do their own count.

After that I ask you again; how you gonna apply the stuxnet? Telepathy?

You think if the US could infect airgapped Iranian nuclear centrifuges, it couldn't do the same and then some to your voting machines?

LOL. LMAO, even.
