Add to this the more modern capabilities we have now to print each ballot with a unique number on it -- allowing for tracking ballots to ensure that they are not going missing, or being counted more than once, and ensuring that someone can't just print one off with a random number and have it work.
Throw in the federal offense and penalties for tampering with mail, the ability to fully audit and recount (full real-world paper trail) and any cheating or fraud will be extremely hard to scale up or pass undetected.
The goal of audibility is a good goal. however, it is in direct opposition to the requirement for secret ballots. If you have a unique id number printed on the ballot, they will have to scan that number and cross reference it against a list of ballots issued to registered voters, to ensure a registered voter did not vote twice. That means that at least one database has both numbers, so could match votes with the voter. It's the same problem with internet voting. There's no way to ensure anonymity of votes while also authenticating the validity of voter registration.
That being said, there is a workaround that most precincts use. The typical mail-in ballot has three pages. The first only contains the unique ballot number, which is cross referenced against the voter registration database (This could be an envelope instead). That page is then torn off (or the envelope is opened), and discarded once the ballot is validated. The second page is just a privacy screen, and the third page contains the actual votes (and no unique identifiers). It's not a perfect system, because there's still the problem of delivery to and from the correct registered voter (which is a big problem , e.g. people move; mail gets mis-delivered all the time), and of course once it's delivered to the voter's residence, there's no way to ensure privacy while they are marking it. So, anyone wanting to influence or view that person's vote can do it in private, instead of in the public polling place.
It interoperated with NetMeeting, so if you ever need to video conference with anyone running Windows NT or 2000, you could do it.
I'm already 100% remote, but most of the people in my company work at our corporate office. However, they recently told all employees (except for a skeleton crew) to work from home.
I don't think they've decided what sound to use yet and have announced the ruling, to give the big consultancies plenty of time to work out how to charge a vast fortune for licencing whatever new sound they come up with.

BitTorrent, for one. Rsync for another.
Ok, I get it. The article says, "Breach victims part
The word [victims] here should be [victims'] (with an apostrophe after the word, meaning possessive). So [Breach victims] describes the noun "part". So the article means "the part of the lawsuit that belongs to the breach victims".
It should be "... victims [who are] part of
