I was an IT Administrator for a school district at one time and I had the task of creating an online vote for president in the 2008 race for the middle school kids to vote.

The school system had a sharepoint back end for the internal intranet so I used that to create it. All the students had their own logon for the school network and they could only vote once. It worked well. It was easy to program/set up, assign the student groups to the page, publish the page on the school internal webpage. Tested it, tested it again and deployed.

PS. Obama won

Did you also get a good hacker to attempt to rig it?

Sure, it’s fine in theory. That said, you weren’t the target of State enabled hackers.

I think it can be done but only if the source code is open, builds are digitally signed, and blockchain is used to record the votes. Then it might survive scrutiny. Everything must be transparent and verifiable.

Using an ‘app’ made by a private company, funded by Democrat POTUS candidates, is the opposite approach - we see the results.

I have 30+ years of software engineering. Until I see something like what I’m proposing I’m not interested. Even then, I’d want paper backups. The main concern is all the other avenues that enable voter fraud.
