Regarding the "bit flip", that's always a possibility. Chaos Theory at work with Murphy's Law. It's the reason satellites have additional bits for not only error-detection, but error-correction as they routinely have bits flipped from the significantly higher levels of radiation they're subjected to. Been decades, but IIRC, error correction requires two additional bits per byte, not one. They could be hardened for radiation, but the weight of the shielding required would make their launch infeasible and it wouldn't eliminate flipped bits, merely reduce the probability. It's easier to do error correction. I'm dismayed they didn't have error detection and correction embedded in their voting system given how critical it was and the consequences of election results that lacked veracity. Someone blew it with the Design FMEA and Risk Analysis.
