> Only if you're fine with disenfranchising voters

I don't love disenfranchising voters but I think it's probably better than allowing elections to be vulnerable to foreign tampering, don't you think?

That’s a false dichotomy. Better practices for election security can be implemented without disenfranchising voters.
Disenfranchising the entire populace by nature of ID verification to use the internet naturally includes voters as well.
The foreign tampering wasn't at the ballot box.
Social media also lets foreign agents tamper elections.
