I'm a software engineer too. Unlike the chorus of voices here I don't believe it is impossible to develop good voting software. In fact it's already been done. The algorithms required to do it have been invented, so in a sense technical problem and has already been solved. Look up "end to end verifiable voting". Turns out that Ken Thompson's "reflections on trust" don't apply to these systems: you can run them on utterly untrusted hardware. They use cryptography or course, and like a lot of cryptography (eg, zero knowledge proofs) it first looks magic, but when you take the time to understand…
