Perhaps, but why bother? Counting ballots is not that hard, and the time saved by using software (if it is really saved...see Iowa) is inconsequential to the outcome of the election, or the installation of the candidate into office. Perhaps TV on election night would be less exciting, but I'm willing to sacrifice that for more secure elections.

In the uk we count by hand, and election night is exciting as different districts race against each other. We have a good idea of the results after 4 hours, usually a concession speech by 6 hours
