no encryption is good enough...
Considering the power the US President has to shape US and World Policy, I think EVERYONE will be gunning to crack that nut.

Enemies will try to get the worst/weakest candidate. Allies will try to get the guy who most loves them into power. Business will go for the Pro-Business guy.... etc.

If it's hacked once, we're hosed.

I can see the headline now - "Unlikely 3rd Party Candidate on the 'Mao is THE MAN' ticket has received 51% of the vote." Chaos ensues.
