Best option is paper ballots that are machine-readable and human-readable. Cryptography doesn't help; what you need are processes which make fraud difficult (for instance, observers with line of site to all ballot boxes from when voting starts until they're counted; cross-checking counts of blank, spoiled, and voted ballot papers before & after voting, translucent ballot boxes that are clearly empty at the start of e…
Quite a rotten two square miles of Philadelphia there.

This was done by adding votes. The voter counts of poll watchers should not have matched those of the election officials. Why wasn't that noticed?
I would assume that, in a large city, those counts are routinely wrong and mismatches are ignored. If I try to count even a few dozen items twice in a row, I’d be lucky to get the same count twice. I can’t imagine poll counts are better.
The other scheme was advising voters inside the polling place (illegal) and signing in non-present voters and casting votes on their behalf (also illegal), so the counts would all look legit. They got caught for that too, it sounds like.

For some reason progressives are against voter ID laws. I've said that before and will say it again: Most of EU requires ID to vote. I will support Republicans that want to do this. It is sad to bring EU in the picture to convince progressives but it is a magic word that somehow brings logic and reason. We shouldn't have to say "They do it in EU, so it must be good". People have stopped thinking for themselves. Anyth…
> For some reason progressives are against voter ID laws. It’s a barrier preventing citizens from exercising constitutional rights. The need isn’t clearly demonstrated to justify the restriction. Voter ID laws have different outcomes based on economic status. It’s especially difficult for poor people to exercise their rights. > People have stopped thinking for themselves.

This is delusional. ID is required for so many daily activities and the price of an ID (if they charge for it) is less than $10.

This is definitely going to be used as proof that Trump won in a landslide in 2020 and all of the poll watchers nationwide are in the (((Democrats))) pockets. > some straightforward cryptographic scheme Anybody who designs cryptographic systems is LOLing right now.
* Every registered voter gets an encryption key
* When you vote, your vote is encrypted with the key
* A list of everyone who voted, along with their encrypted vote, is semi-publicly available (like current voter registration lists [1])
* Anyone can check who they're registered as having voted for (but the encryption keeps it private)
* Anyone who wants to verify the election results can request the voter registration list, and ask some randomly sampled subset to verify their vote
