CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to Decrypt, former voting machine auditor Michal Pospieszalski stated that the U.S. election system still lacks basic cryptographic safeguards to detect ballot tampering or duplication. He proposed ensuring the security of future elections and restoring public trust by adding end-to-end encryption proofs. Despite these vulnerabilities being identified as early as 2006, he indicated that vendors would not take action unless there is legal pressure or updated election laws.

Pospieszalski emphasized that the solution involves software rather than hardware, based on cryptographic technology from the 1980s. The model he proposed would include three counts: paper ballots, traditional digital tallying, and a third encrypted count. [Original link]
