Demand ballot counting like most the other democracies in the world have now.
It’s really foolish to think oneself a democracy but depend on vote counts that are not recounted or verified by humans , but left to a handful of private companies. Even if your state has ok counting, you still dependent on other states that don’t, to decide the federal government .
Americans have faith in a system they refuse to think much about, and would not understand if they did, because it’s hidden behind trade secrets. They naively assume such things are monitored by ethical experts, when no such checks exist.
Private companies determine your primaries and government, and they are not double checked. Most states flunk standard tests for ballot stuffing. And the exit polls are off by so much that the mainstream press stopped using them recently.
It’s just a weird complex system that is supported by faith
