Aaaaand there it is! We all knew it was coming (with many cheering it on), and he still has plenty of time to call a national emergency or something to suspend the midterm elections in the "worst" case where too many people still expect actual democracy.
Welp, that's what happens you twice vote a notorious criminal for president.
It's always surprising that political bias can infect even the most technically experienced person on HN and force them to claim that inherently insecure electronic voting machines are totally legit and should be used and expanded.
Not only are these machines actively a security nightmare with dozens of blatant security holes, ANY form of electronic voting or tallying is inherently exploitable.
A paper trail prevents innumerable amounts of tampering, human error or fraud and is prevalent in most democracies that value accurate elections.
Before 2016, it was common for media to report on the inherent insecurity of these machines. Now, they claim that questioning a machine running EoL-ed Windows 7 with an exposed USB port and a "abcde" password is verboten and against democracy. [1] [2] [3]
Even a theoretical open-source electronic voting machine (doesn't exist, by the way) with cryptographically provable results should be looked at with extreme skepticism.

Command-F for "paper" and "electronic" in the linked article shows zero results, so you kinda need to explain the link more clearly than you have
what does this have to do with posted article?
so you think, states should move to paper voting brilliant, offtopic.
What trump said is still abhorent, he wants to nationalize elections?! how does that work?
