However, it is no longer even remotely paranoid to be concerned that the current administration plans to do one or more of:
1. Put its thumb on the scale by "guarding" urban polling places with paramilitary forces on election day,
2. Declare mail-in ballots illegitimate and seize them,
3. Seize voting machines or attempt to stop vote counts before all votes are counted,
4. Intimidate state legislatures by threats or economic blackmail to disregard results.
I don't see an alternative to trying to figure out how to make online voting secure. That won't solve (4) but it will at least mitigate some of the more direct methods of election fraud.
