Of course, in the Netherlands, election loser Geert Wilders starts spreading messages suggesting a rigged election. It's what far-right people always do when they lose. But, unlucky for him, the Netherlands still votes on paper, so while a full recount will take time, it is perfectly possible to do. Democracy deserves the paper trail. It's something I will never stop preaching as loud as I can.

@jwildeboer Also, a full recount is usually not necessary: you can do some random sampling and check that the vote on paper ballot matches the entry in a file containing all the votes. The number of samples you need depends on how close the vote is, and also on the risk of not detecting fraud that you are willing to accept.
