The only rational system is paper ballots deposited in ballot boxes on election day with positive voter ID. Add annual purging of voting rolls. No early or late voting. No mail-in voting. No absentee voting. Voting precincts to be set up on military reservations with the same rules. Observers from both parties to be present and close enough to really see the count. Cheating is still possible but it would take much more manpower and would have to be done one voting station at a time.
Contrary to your beliefs, paper ballots are easy to rig. Voting machines are much more secure. Lots of people have jobs that are not 9 to 5. They have just as much right to vote as anyone else. My father was a petroleum geologist. Prior to the 1988 elections, he had to lie in order to get absentee ballots sent out of county, so he could vote absentee. Seriously he really had no idea if he would be at home on election day.
