You know what I want them to do is make it so voting online is an option, the turn out would be record breaking. I am aware of the pitfalls but they also could do away with a lot of them if planned correctly.
In a day where we can literally do almost any transaction online It is time for this to move forward.
I'm aware this is controversial, but...why exactly do we want to make it so easy to cast a vote other than in person?
I'm not in favor of artificial
impediments to voting, and I'm down with making polling places accessible, extended hours, even limited early voting.
But if someone can't even be bothered to get off their ass and vote in person, exactly how engaged are they? Because if the goal is expanded turnout, we're not just talking about making it more convenient for people who'd vote anyway. We're talking about people who wouldn't vote
unless it is online. And WTF is up with that?
There's the obvious issue of actual electronic hacking/fraud that you mentioned. But leaving that aside, what I really worry about is not fraud, but "voting by proxy", where people who don't really care will simply give their sign-in information to friends who do, essentially letting political activist types cast multuple votes.
Or even actual vote selling. I mean, if someone can't be bothered to vote in person (and we know that's upwards of 100 million people, especially in non-presidential years) why
wouldn't a significant number sell their sign-in info for $50 or $100 to someone who really does care? And I think it would be naive as hell to think there wouldn't be a lot of people who'd be willing to do that.
Again, I'm in favor of making in-person voting more accessible. But I think we actually need to cut
back on absentee voting.
ETA: one more thing. No matter what precautions are taken to prevent hacking, a very large number of people won't ever believe that it is truly secure. And that's going to destroy whatever residual confidence still exists in the reliability of results.
