"could just take the seller's signature device and do voting himself"

That's identity thieft, which should be punishable by a few years behind bars.

Also, make those signature devices tethered to receiving whatever equivalent of Social Security payments, and addicts/homeless will not let anybody lay a finger on it.

When the holder of the identity agrees, it is not a theft. Of course it is still criminal, but how could you reliably enforce that?

Identity is non-transferrable. It's theft all right, albeit with different victim.

Once one of those addicts complains that you're using their ID, you're a toast.
