I think it is time to implement things correctly in US as well. Closed unverifiable voting system is as good as an e-voting system as DocuSign is good as an e-signature system. There are proven mathematical ways that make sure, without using blockchain, that the votes and voters are correct [1]. Then again, I am biased as I am lucky enough to enjoy the benefits of well implemented electronic voting and signing system in Estonia. Source code for Estonian voting system is published in GitHub [2]. [1] http://research.cyber.ee/~jan/publ/mobileverification-ieee.pdf http://research.cyber.ee/~jan/publ/mobileverification-ieee.p...

Estonia has a National ID with a smart card on it. This isn’t possible for nations which do not want mandatory ID laws. It also then makes the ID card a good target which specifically the Estonian one was found to have quite a few issues. Lastly trust in a voting system isn’t just can someone alter the vote but how easy it would be to deny people from voting and any electronic voting system will be susceptible to a wide range of denial of service attacks, what’s worse that these systems are susceptible to denial of service attacks that could corrupt votes cast causing not only those votes to be cast out but making the entire system being suspect.
