> leftists fight as hard as they can for an insecure and unverified voting process

that is false

what they fight for is a voting process that provides equal access to voting by all citizens

for those from Europe who wonder why this is even an issue when voting is the most basic of rights in a democracy, the US has a terrible history of voter suppression, especially of African Americans, where local systems were intentionally designed to make it as difficult for them to vote; this still happens today

the fact that voting takes place on a weekday, and you don't get a day off from work to do it, and polling stations in poorer areas are removed or have restricted hours, is one example of how the right to vote is stacked against poorer working class people

this is why some states allow you to vote by mail, which Trump is desperately trying to outlaw

if you're worried about insecure voting processes, lets take a look at the companies who own the electronic voting machines
