As I said elsewhere in this thread, blockchains/consensus algorithms won't work. If the computer/phone that the software is running on is compromised and the attackers have control of the video and/or input devices, there are many ways of misdirecting the voter to make the wrong selection - in that case the whole stack of protocols and algorithms work just as they were intended, but it doesn't matter because the selection of the candidate was decided by the virus, no the voter.

And it doesn't take much to swing an election - you don't need to compromise many machines. So you end up needing 100% security on almost 100% of the voters' devices. That's simply not possible.

People have a hard time believing that we can't fix the security problems with online voting. We can't fix them.

Your claims are too broad for the evidence you present.

A trivial solution would be when you vote online you get texted/emailed confirmation. If you don't respond to the confirmation you get a call. The confirmation gives you a candidate you voted for and a blockchain signature and an opportunity to report error.

In the event you report error you could always show up at your local voting booth and get a paper copy.
