Routers don’t work that way....
Once data gets to the internet, you have no control over the path it travels to the endpoint...the path data travels over the internet is not static, it can and often does change rapidly...Data networks if implemented correctly have the ability to detect and correct for failures in the network, assuming multiple routes exist in the network...think of it this way, you want to drive from point a to point b, you become aware of a major wreck blocking your intended path, you then make the decision to drive an alternate path, a lot of times your GPS system will do the routing change for you.....Large corporate networks have the same ability...The Internet is a HUGE giant network built to automatically overcome outages in traffic flow....
It would be impossible to have control over information bouncing from one server to another on the internet...without coordination of a huge number of people and organizations which would often include other countries....if someone wanted to specifically send information to someone or some place, they would have to give specific destination which would be detailed somewhere else other than in the routers.....

Wrong. My home router allows me to restrict the access to my LAN to specific MAC device addresses, if I so choose. Those MAC addresses would be stored in the router. Clearly the MAC addresses of the voting devices would be exposed, and allow a concrete identification of a location used by the voting machines. And typing them back in is a pain in the a$$.
