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.

You've passed the point where many qualified voters no longer understand how it works and so have to trust the downloaded software.

Verifying the validity of a ballot was never going to rest on the voter's shoulders. They already know if it's valid or not since they cast it. The signature is so someone else can verify that it's not a forgery.

So the voters are expected to trust those verifiers who actually understand how it works and Swear to God it DOES work?

Nope. And if you have to ask that, please never get into security of any sort beyond the Mall variety.

So you'll need to come up with something they actually understand that actually allows them to not need to trust those machines and people.
