No such thing as “hack proof.” I’ve been working in cybersecurity for 10 years and IT in general for over 25. Everything that was once billed as “hack proof,” whether it’s infrastructure or a service or a concept or a framework has fallen out of favor because it was hacked.

For elections, we need to go old school. Most other western societies have elections in person for one day on paper ballots. Early voting, electronic voting, voting online, vote by mail, it’s all ripe for fraud, and we’ve seen that over the last 6 years.

This year’s midterms SHOULD have gone the same way that Florida went: bright, deep red. Unfortunately vote fraud is so rampant and out of control that it’s going to take real courage and force of will to get reforms passed. It has to start at the state level. The federal government is wholly compromised and represents a threat to the lives of every true American.

I agree with nothing is hack proof. I have similar experience as you rarestia and technology is not the solution. Also, I'm not keen on having all kinds of traceable and tech heavy IDs that will be used against the citizenry when the Gov wants to.

Give us our cash, our paper ballots and our Election DAY (Not days and weeks) back - it worked for ever and is still valid today.

While I generally agree with you about same day voting Visa/MC/Amex/Discover process hundreds of millions correctly each day INSTANTANEOUSLY.

Our elections should be at least as secure as our credit cards, and they aren’t
