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.

The history on how the Netherlands returned to paper ballots after it was shown that voting machines cannot be trusted sounds rather boring on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voting_by_country#Netherlands
"In September 2007 a committee chaired by Korthals Altes reported to the government that it would be better to return to paper voting. The deputy minister for the interior Ank Bijleveld said in a first response she would accept the committee's advice, and ban electronic voting"
Trust me, it was quite the drama at the time :)
