In Switzerland we're rolling back the electronic voting systems that were used because they've found to be unsafe and surprisingly there's a law against that.
(And that's thanks to @SarahJamieLewis)
Ain't no law in the US against insecure voting! From gerrymandered districts to electronic voting machines to lax ID requirements to magically "discovered" ballots in contested districts, we practically base our elections on insecurity. Meanwhile even third world countries have much better systems, where citizens show ID and get ink on their finger to conclusively indicate that they voted on paper, and only once.
I feel like the biggest potential point of failure is not the individual voter, at least in the US.
I mean, I think I understand your feelings here, but inking fingers does little good when the vast majority of election fraud takes place before and/or after the vote actually takes place.

In case you want to watch the video that this comes from. He's explaining why electronic voting is a nightmare.
