Lindell is a moron.
I’m an advocate of photo ID’s, signature verification and paper ballots, counted at the precinct by citizens and observed by citizens representing all political parties on the ballot. Absentee ballots are allowed when a voter is medically unable to vote or will be away from their residence on business or for military/government service. All ballots must have a comprehensive chain of custody. There should be an audit after every election which includes a hand recount and verification of voter rolls. There’s a lot that goes into all of that and it requires effort, not gimmicks. If people want to use technology, then stream on the internet the counting of every ballot when it is counted. This allows all citizens to observe the counting process and adds credibility to the counting process. But all of that means nothing if the voter registration process isn’t secure and voter rolls are continually updated based on life events like death and change of residence. That’s the thousand foot view of fair elections and there are tons of details omitted for brevity here.
I don’t trust people. I don’t trust government. I don’t trust machines. That trust is gained by constant checks at every step in the voter registration and voting process. Trust is reinforced by audits so that these processes can be iteratively improved and any fraud can be detected. Furthermore any detected fraud must be prosecuted. Penalties for voter fraud should be severe - a felony carrying a 10 year sentence in state prison with no parole for each count. Not the misdemeanor charges that currently exist.
