There will always be some skill that others lack being a gatekeeper. I don't think tech knowledge is the problem; we have just as many conservatives and centrists as the left does that can parse code and spot irregularities.
What is a problem with digital voting is still reliant on accountability. Sure, you can make the code open source and let anyone see it -- but you still open the path to exploitation because without accountability and oversight from all involved parties as well as the public, who's to say that is even the code being used?
Further, if caught -- as they've been caught many times -- if no one actually prosecutes, hears and rules on the case with harsh penalties for those who break the law and trust of the citizenry, then there is also nothing to stop them from using different code anyway.
If voting fraud – in any form – was held in as high regard as it should be (a form of treason, IMO), then if the consequences matched the crime... we'd have a lot less people involved.
Right now, there's slaps on wrists. They more to do the wrong (ie, money) than the crime they're committing.
I'm honestly not even seeing wrists get slapped for these transgressions, haha.
