This "ridiculous" example is very real and famously practised to this day MASSIVELY in many countries [1]. It is the prime example of what most people understand as e-voting. He does address other types of voting as well later, including the "open-source bullet-proof machines". The guy explicitly says physical voting can be compromised easily too, but it requires much more people and it will exhibit patterns such as location stats, violence or outbursts of whistleblowers and it is more or less contained unless the whole country is on it in which case - good for them anyway. While with e-voting, you could technically be a very small group of people and you can model your fake results to be statistically plausible much better with no patterns.
