There's still voter registration records: this system doesn't change
that. It would be just a susceptible to fraud in those as the current
system is. So while you would not be able to simply add votes with
random names (because you would at least be able to match names with
voter registration records), you could still fake registrations.
Securing registrations is a separate issue. I'm sure there are ways
to do that as well.
