IMO it shouldn't be all or nothing, here's a system I think would be the best of both worlds:
- Allow people to express voting intent & go through the candidates on the ticket with a website/app (as strong as it can be), which spits out some random ID/QR code
- Widen voting time period to months
- Support mail-in-ballots in more states
- Add a mandatory # of holidays per year (with proof of vote, notification of which local/national election the person is voting in)
- Require people to confirm their vote in person, with the option to vote with the QR their phone generated (and a confirmation screen afterwards for them to review), with every vote required to take a certain amount of time in the booth (to prevent timing people to figure out if they used their cell phone or not).
This setup allows for a few things:
- Early consideration of candidates and their positions and the ability to save how you were going to vote once you're in the booth
- More signals of voting intent that could be used to detect fraud (in addition to random sampling)
This scheme probably needs more thought to prevent election tampering, but I think adding a digital element as additive would be a benefit. If the digital element detects voting intent that sharply diverges from voter rolls, then a recount in whatever county is triggered.
