Personally I wouldn't trust our Sec of State as far as I could throw him. One thing we have learned in the last couple of years is that although we have been utterly dependent on machines, there is virtually no one on the Election Boards that knows a single thing about the technology. Dominion has been taking candy from babies because they could. Until we have decent job descriptions and hiring practices and bonded and insured people running the elections at the local and state level we just create more problems that make us sitting ducks.
You are right about government workers being computer illiterate. This looks like it needs to be dealt with as one package: bring voter data internal AND make sure the right people are hired. Plus fire the idiots. My favorite part.
This is WHY everything needs to go back to paper, not just the ballots but the roll books too. Nothing electronic can truly be secured in this day and age. All of the current hell we are living through now is because the bad guys seized the electronic voting several decades ago.

Hmmm, very good point.
