Right, the hardware is the problem. If we do some software solution, it'll be through a web browser or app, both controlled and developed by some independent group (to prevemt bias from the current admin) monitored by the government and released as FOSS. It would do challenge-based tamper protection on launch and submission of the vote, and you could use a separate, government-produced verification website to check your vote.
Even with all that, I still think we should stick with paper ballots. However, if we absolutely need something digital, that's less bad than the current voting machine system.
