Bullshit. You do the opposite and go "low tech".
Clean voter rolls
Election day (not week, or month)
Voting in person only (no mail-in ballots)
Some form of picture ID
Paper ballots
Counted by hand
Count recorded and monitored by both parties
Serious penalties for election and voter fraud
No machines. No software. Simple paper ballots that provide a full, tangible audit trail that cannot be hacked.
For extra credit, treat each ballot as if it were a transaction with a unique serial number linked to the voter. Get rid of anonymous voting in favor of privacy when voting. If votes were treated like financial transactions, we would not have ANY of these election fraud or voter fraud problems.
See: Battle of Athens.
They were using paper ballots in Tennessee when the sheriff stole the ballot boxes.
I would have the greatest confidence in a blockchain based voting solution, perhaps backed up with paper ballots as a checksum system. That would be very secure.
I totally agree that our votes should be regarded with the same respect and protection as our financial transactions.
