    I agree. But when the low-tech paper system is compromised, you need to move to something else everybody has. And in this day and age, that’s a cellphone with an internet connection.

    This is an exceedingly bad idea.

    That would drastically increase the attack surface for voter fraud. I can just see the Russian Malware now that shows you on your cell phone screen that your votes were cast for your candidates while the malware voted for its candidates instead. You’d never even know your vote was stolen.

      Election fraud. Not “voter” fraud. The former is when politicians/bureaucrats rig the system to cheat, whereas the latter is overwhelmingly a fictional boogeyman invented to spread FUD and/or misdirect attention away from the former.
