As an internet security certified professional with comptia I’m going drop the hammer on this hard. I’m going to using really complex ideas the average computer user isn’t aware of.Use the IRS system of filing and paying your taxes online. It is pretty good. In addition, you get in big trouble if the IRS catches you in fraud. It could be that way with voting fraud, too.
I’ll answer questions but understand you’re talking about high end government securities. This isn’t your local parish email address.
The internet is divided into 255.255.255.255 address. Obviously there’s more then 255 million IP addresses in the world. Hell there’s more then 300 people in the US alone most of which owns a computer and a phone. All of which has its own IP address.
What’s a poor internet provider to do? The answer is subnet masks. You tell the wider internet that your going to take your own address and subdivide it (through complex math) and relay the deviation if you will between the mini internet and WWW proper.
This forces each router to have a local map of all these address.
By happy accident this provides a level or security because it obfuscates the land scape of the internet several routers down. Without knowing the layout it greatly increases a hackers time of being caught because they spend more time on recon tripping alarms while exploring every dead end.
When you mass register devices for a purpose like voting you removed half that obfuscation and place a guaranteed pay off.
Not every cell phone is worth hacking until every cell IP is now a voter you can spoof from the other side of the planet.
You think those phoony scam calls that appear to come from the states when we both know it’s the Middle East/India are bad? Give that tech applied to voting.
Unlike phones house address doesn’t garrentee eligible voters. Some are students, some are green card, some are landed immigrants. You are effectively guessing when you scam a vote by mail.I think it is much better than ballot harvesting and mail in voting.
It’s so not worth the pay off that only .04% votes are registered as fraudulent. It’s not enough to sway a vote and it’s definitely not worth the jail time.
You open the vote to the net you open it to all the evils of it.
