True, the only way to check it is a manual recount by paper ballot. We were clerks (spouse, mom & I) for Supervisor of Elections office in our former state.  KY was way behind the times prior to this election.  We did not act as Poll inspectors the last couple of elections in KY... BUT, let's just say we marked our ballots both straight Repub box AND filled in the box for each race as a contingency measure in the event of recount.
