// a huge impact on US elections // |

Yes, but look on the bright side; at least democracy isn't affected in any way .... |
|
|
The idea of drive-through voting is in itself entirely reasonable, if voter identification issues can be resolved. ATMs could be reprogrammed to handle it - they're fairly secure, as they already deal with something important (dispensing money) so something trivial like voting is easy to add on. |

you'd need to verify their's only one person in the car, and I'd
look to put something on the touch screen in the car or
phone (from a local wifi) so you
don't touch common surfaces, which actually is super bad
about ATMs -- or even simply fill out and drop a paper ballot
in a slot |

Put a box of gloves on a stand by the entry, rig CCTV so no-one helps themselves to more than a couple. |

So Vinny can't sit next to you and tell you how to vote (and
be able to verify it) |
|
|
If Vinnie is set on making you vote a certain way, Vinnie will achieve that - for example, by making you record your actions in a voting booth with your phone, and making your life singularly unpleasant if your level of compliance falls below the mandated value, |
|

At least, that's how we do it. Other coercive methods are available. Ask your ER doctor if psychotropic drugs, electric shock and waterboarding are right for you. |
|
|
If you're at an ATM with a hostile passenger, they are much more likely to be interested in your bank balance than your voting intentions ... |

Yes to that part; after some decades working in the software
trade, I'm a big fan of paper ballots. |
