Yep. I think there are concerns of stale registration data get exploited. So for example, I die(the crowds cheer). Registration data still thinks I'm alive. Someone shows up claiming they're me and votes. That's the concern. Many states try to clean their voter rolls, but a lot of legitimate people get caught up in those purges and show up to the polls finding out they're no longer registered. So you should check your registration a couple of times a year. There are other ways to address that issue. Photo ID is one of a few suggestions.
There's all sorts of vulnerabilities with our voting systems and they concern me. My larger concerns are man in the middle type of attacks. Every state does it different, but when it comes to these electronic voting machines, that data gets transmitted somewhere. Finds its way on a server. That's where I worry about the integrity of that data. Is it encrypted? Is it heavily audited/logged? Are those audit logs reviewed thoroughly? Etc etc.
We know through DHS reports and the Mueller Report that all 50 states got scanned by Russia, 21 states got penetrated. At least one state had all of their voter registration data stolen(we found this out through one of the many indictments from the Mueller Report). Photo ID aint gonna fix any of that however.
The one thing that I'll never understand is why we don't make the day we vote in November a national holiday.
