You don't have this option when the public at large is considered, for
a public election. You can do it in a private election for a club,
for example, but even then only if the bylaws allow it.

Perhaps a trustee could be chosen who would be immune even from a US

Well, not for a US election, which is 100% under state and/or federal

But there are additional scenarios -- a bug, Trojan horse, worm and/or
virus that infects the systems used by all trustees would also
compromise voter secrecy and, thereby, election integrity.

3. Embedding keys in mass-produced chips has
great sales potential. Now we may have to upgrade
processors also because the key is compromised ;-)

PS: We would be much better off with OS/2, IMO.
