Nothing is more easily rigged than the average voter:
Some votes were apparently lost, however, when about 20 folks at a Chicago precinct were given styluses designed for touch-screen machines instead of ink pens. When voters complained the devices made no marks on their paper ballots, a ballot judge told them the markers were full of invisible ink

Arrrrrrrgh!

I really sometimes have to wonder whether all humans have the same kind of cognitive processes as those of us who, you know, think. Maybe the kind of folks who fail to go "waittaminute!" when faced with "invisible ink" are just qualitatively different. More like chimpanzees.

I mean, if they in any way actually resembled a pen -- you know, something that had ink -- it wouldn't be quite as weird...
