I have been programming for more than 20 years and I think an old school traditional pen and paper system is the best. The introduction of digital systems and code will never increase trust and security, it will decrease it. The code being open is irrelevant. There's no guarantee that the system as a whole is doing what the code says. And even if there was, it still adds to the complexity. Digital systems will create 1,000 new ways to cheat and deceive and interfere. Elections are special and I think the society needs to abstain from the temptation of 'efficiency' and 'speed' as promised by digital systems. Entities that push for the introduction of digital systems are not interested in increasing the power of people or increasing trust and transparency. What they like to do is to reduce the obstacles in their way and concentrate the power. They will control the supply chain and a handful of vendors that make the machines and the software and control the network. After a while the elections will gradually move more and more towards a "the super computers said ..... won, just trust us it's all totally secure and verified by our super state of the art AI and machine learning models, are you saying you are smarter than those?!" system.
