Potentially, a canary id, "show this one and it'll claim you voted for ____ and also alert the state election board that it was accessed"

vote manipulation by a foreign government is solved by having a verifiable id/token in the first place.

vote manipulation by the government the election is happening for isn't really something you can solve because in that case the election isn't the problem.
