Is the access to the original photos open? It might be fit for a good Kaggle competition, although maybe a little too late for this current election.

From the article, it seems like the rush was to collect enough evidence to file a challenge within the legal timeframe. With a challenge filed, it seems like there is a bit more time to verify claims + other evidence. (I know nothing of the system of government there, but) -- it seems like the prudent thing to do would be for the courts to mandate a neutral verification of each of those paper sheets. (ie, 10 trusted representatives from each party re-key the figures manually).
If you want, you have exactly the same issue to solve with Kenya last year.
The pictures of all of the voting sites are available, but the country went to chaos to pick a winner. It is crazy , because on the lower level (in voting offices), the vote process was respected and the numbers are trustworthy, but the higher you go and the more corruption happens, as each aggregation of data removes trust to the system.
