Computers have ZERO business in elections. I remember voting on the old electro mechanical machines where were impossible to fraud. Nothing but electromagnetic driven sprockets and cogs with ZERO micro chips. Dems hated those machines and for years lobbied hard to get rid of them.
It could be I'm in the camp of no computers in voting. Bring back to old voting machines, they worked great, never broke down, and were basically cheat proof.
It possibly could. The main issue is that any inclusion of advanced technology into the process always tends to lean towards favoring convenience over security. People look at the difficulties involved in the old voting systems and think that it's a bug, not necessarily a feature. Some of this is actual disingenuity, of course.
We need to start with a solid basis of what a voting system is supposed to accomplish and make sure we adhere to that as we develop new systems going forward and reject those that don't comply.

blockchain could work too

at least for those methods of attack. Nothing stops just a late night box of 'found ballots' except quality unbiased enforcement.
Nope, but old voting machines greatly reduce not eliminate the problem.
