Thanks for your reply , I enjoyed it.
Been programming for 40 years, I’m of no special talent, it’s my trade.
If I can think of several ways to bypass any possible security of electronic voting, if the owner is participating. Then people smarter than me can do better.
And having administered large systems that have hardware and software parts, I have convinced myself it’s simply not possible to make sure they all behave well and are doing what is expected of them . Even open source.
On top of that, there is possibility of careless or bad admins, stolen admin keys, and on top of that hacking.
I will never underestimate smart people, who gain money and power, to not tamper with complex systems. So low tech, where each step can be verified with mark one human eyeballs and witnessed by the gaggle of people who have competing interests, is the only way to do democracy.
The systems perfected in Europe a long time ago work well enough I think
