There’s an angle here, but the way this author tells the story isn’t going to resonate. I don’t disagree that this is a technological challenge. Getting the public on board is going to take a better story.
Election Day, not month, voter ID, purple thumb, in person voting…all else subject to massive fraud…

Yeah, I do database work for a living - mostly develop vertical market apps using them, but “database latency” ain’t a great catch phrase. I remember trying to explain the concept and it’s effect on transactions to customers and fellow developers back in the 90s. ;-)
Something more like “changing voter addresses” is more understandable. Play up an angle where bad addresses may affect their credit scores, leave them liable to voter fraud (they signed those voter registration under penalty of perjury!) or something to that effect. People respond to that.
After that, the method for solving the problem - eliminate or ameliorate the inherent latencies of the systems involved naturally falls out of the process.
Remember that Machiavelli said people act on fear more than love.
