Yes. You are assuming any one entity is trustworthy, military included. You would need a certificate signing methodology in place for the voter id requiring multiple adversarial parties signing the id, else they could be forged.
Electronic voting machines would work. Its how they are used is the problem. I recommend the following:
Each time you vote you get a paper receipt. On that receipt and stored on the computer is your identification and how you voted - along with a checksum of the software in the machine next to your name. Should the checksum not match what is on record then your vote is thrown out.
This is a common way to verify unadulterated downloads such as linux iso's.
I would suppress any error reporting on the voting machine too. That way when someone (i.e democrats) cheat they will not be aware that no matter how many votes they insert, They are rejected after a software alteration. Thats because the checksum has changed.
There are a lot of ways to safe guard a computer for voting. The software code should be open source. That way anyone can view it. This way its easy to find errors or look for the "naughty bits".
The term is actually hash. A checksum is a subset of hash algorithms that is a tallying algorithm to determine if data is uncorrupted. A different family of hashing algorithm than checksum would apply in this case.
No way to guarantee which software was loaded.
Do paper ballots.
Fuck machines. The vote is counted by hand by the national guard.
I’m actually on board with this.

SHA256 (CentOS-8.2.2004-x86_64-minimal.iso) = 47ab14778c823acae2ee6d365d76a9aed3f95bb8d0add23a06536b58bb5293c0

The hash is the encrypted bits. Checksum is the process.
Thank you.
