This is a novel take on the problem of election integrity.
Auditing in elections is called a full manual recount.
Verification in elections is the phrase for inspecting the hardware, software, processes, results. Which is probably why election integrity focused orgs have names like Election Verification Network and Verified Voting.
You did say "confidence", which is the correct framing, rather than "trust".
Much like our Constitution, confidence in our elections are built on "an orgy of mistrust", when all the participants abide by the final results.
Which is moot when one party's platform is to reject the results, regardless of objective reality.
I don't have a clue how to address the cultural, sociological, and realpolitick parts of our country's current discord wrt election integrity. Though I do know there's no technical fix.
