The Guardian has a story detailing the firing of Christopher Krebs, who served as the director of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (Cisa)
President Trump made the announcement on Twitter on Tuesday, saying Krebs "has been terminated" and that his recent statement defending the security of the election was "highly inaccurate".
CISA last week released a statement refuting claims of widespread voter fraud. "The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history," the statement read. "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."
Krebs, is a former Microsoft executive, and was appointed by President Trump after allegations of Russian interference with the 2016 election.

Anyways alleged issues with an end to end auditable voting system when compared to what we have now can be found here in the comments

Since the (paid?) trolls will keep on bringing it up I figure I'll just link back to the response.

Which pretty much repeats the same thing.
Much of this is redundant. Yet the trolls keep on bringing up the same arguments. "Vote buying is possible". Not any more possible than our current system of mail in ballots.
There should be a list of registered voters that voted so we can tally the number of votes we should expect. Then there should be a list of votes with my vote on that list. The question is how do we prove that all registered voters on the list exist and are still alive during the elections? Perhaps enough information to uniquely identify each voter if necessary? Maybe everyone's first and last name along with a voterID (the voterID can be listed online) that's associated to an offline database that also has more information on that person like DOB, address, contact info, perhaps info on a few relatives or associates that voted, etc... so that certain non-anonymous people (ie: perhaps anyone without a criminal background willing to physically check in and have their independent audits logged such as the press) can investigate various listings.
But something better than what we currently have. What we currently have is garbage. It's faith based. I want something proof based.

Are you sure there isn't? Voting in-person, where I am, involves signing my entry on a list of registered voters. Mail-in requires name, signature, and address, so the same thing can be done. I think provisional ballots require the same information.
More non-anonymous votes makes it more possible.

This is silly logic.
There is no such thing as 'more possible' or 'less possible'. It's either possible or it's not. If the option is available at all then it's possible regardless of how it's possible.
