>Who actually cares about security?
A better way to frame this is what do the parties care about and what motivates them to care so deeply about that topic? I was at Voting Village this year and to see the same dogshit Diebold systems from the 2000s was depressing.
Fortunately there is a solution since these systems are administered state by state. Focus on the potential swing states to make sure they are up to par. Thats where the real fight is.
I can tell you in my local state(a strong democratic leaning state), local activists have been pushing the government and they actually managed to phase out all old voting machines for a Electronic + Print system that allows the voters to verify the ballot before casting. There is a paper record in case the election is close and so it can then be recounted. Its not perfect but its a start.
Also there is something to be said that 95% percent of 2024 voters will be voting with a voter verified paper trail so there has been a lot of progress made.
