Those features should not even be in the software. Then again, all sorts of security vulnerabilities should not be in the software either.
But you’re right that this is primary a people problem. Even with just boxes and paper ballots, box stuffing can still occur as can ballot destruction etc. The whole system is full of vulnerabilities and ultimately any locality can commit fraud. And if you can’t get the SoS to eliminate vulnerabilities or the governor to get the state police to do anything then it’s pointless.
I wonder what Gene Sharp wrote about this? Basically take that Time magazine article stuff and you need to have a populist version of that whole scheme that was set up by elites. But that article isn’t telling the whole story of everything that was done, such as intentionally introducing vulnerabilities at the political level.
