Fair and reliable voting is the goal. We know paper ballots don't solve all problems. Nor does electronic voting.
As to increasing doubt of our election security....
Both the left and the right are casting doubt on elections in the USA.
It's the level of conflict between the far left and the right that's at the bottom of this. Once you have demonized the other side past a certain point, how can they work together to have fair honest elections?
And if the other side is a literal threat to the future, what is a justifiable limit in what you will do to keep them from power?
At least we are not assassinating public figures at the rate we did in the 1960's yet. But how far away are we? Given the level of rhetoric we've heard since Trump got involved?
