Prediction: In 2026 the Trump administration will attempt to ban all other forms of voting and will claim that it is in the interests of election security, because the Democrats can't be trusted to count votes (remember the 2020 election was "stolen"?), so we need to mandate all votes be counted electronically using some sketchy electronic voting system, which a company that is very politically friendly to Trump just so happens to be ready to provide. It will get immediately shot down in several courts but it will take months to resolve all the lawsuits, and SCOTUS won't hear the case. This will cause the election to be held in some places but not others, and overall delay final vote tally by several months. Some kind of data breach will occur but details will not be reported. Neither party will trust the election results but won't go so far as to call fraud lest public trust in the system completely unravel.

Yes - thank you for reminding me a voting machine system was also bought recently (too long a process to get in? Just pay more)
