This sounds like heel-dragging to me, or they're trying to do it under
Windows or something:

It seems simple to me, you use firewalls and only make the results
writeable by the process that should be writing to it, probably
nothing needs to have read access in the short term.  As far as
security after the election, mount the servers in a Brinks truck or
something, it just sounds like a ludicrous excuse.

Something like: for each election the town government mails you a
random number that's your key to vote that election. You go to a
website and put in your town, name, SSN, and the key. If somebody
steals the mail they won't have your SSN. If Russian hackers or
whoever tries to impersonate you online they won't have the key. It's
bringing those 2 pieces of information plus your name and town
together that makes it secure. Just guessing. Did I overlook anything?
