No, because literally every other true democracy on Earth has found a way to keep elections safe and anonymous. You don't need to to be able to trace ballots back to voters actually I'd argue being ablr to do so is deeply undemocratic.

The formula is simple: Central, automatic voter registration, easy access to ID cards (the general one, not a voter Id. You know, the thing most use to identify citizens instead of drivers liscences), easy access to polling stations, no Gerrymandering and paper ballots. That's all you need.

Large scale (e.g. to the point that actually matters) electoral fraud is invariably done through gerrymandering. It's also mostly legal in "literally every other true democracy on Earth", so it's usually considered as a legitimate part of the game, instead of what it really is: Fraud.
