If you need all the members to sign off,

And a member of party X is more likely to be willing to cheat to benefit party X,

Then having all the members that need to sign off be from party X does indeed increase the ability to cheat for party X.

I'm not sure how it works in Philadelphia, but in Chicagoland the EJs don't generally know each other; we meet for the first time the night before the election to set up the polling station. If you floated the (insane) idea of trying to rig a precinct, the likelihood of one of the other EJs reporting you is extraordinarily high. Meanwhile: the likelihood of you being able to flip even a township election by doing this is low. It just doesn't add up.

I think you have to have some pretty huge procedural gaps to make this viable, which is my point here.
