    I’m suggesting that if the abuse is large enough that it swings entire elections, then it should be looked into as a why it’s happening vs saying we shouldn’t do something about voter fraud because something else might happen.

      Spousal abuse is only one concern, also parent/child coercion (you’re an adult now, you can’t live in my house unless you vote the way I want). Another would be buying votes, and using the “receipt” to collect payment.

          and then the coercion is simply you give me your number or i hurt you

          there is no way that you can make a system where you are able to validate your vote after the fact, and also is safe from coercion

          Or just say they ran out of paper. Like there are more pros than cons to this system. Nothing is going to be perfect.

            and then you get hurt regardless… you think abusive partners or criminal organisations care of the printer ran out of paper?
