When a quorum of poll officers unlocks a poll’s results, the decrypted ballots are digitally signed. Any tampering would be detected by BallotBox, which would then display a warning about the tampering so that a quorum of the poll officers you designated could re-create unmodified poll results simply by unlocking the cast ballots again.
