What does Z-Order have to do with voter fraud? What is Z-Order?
Voting machines often/usually have virtual buttons rather than real buttons. This makes it extremely easy to take away a voters choice and replace it with a programmers choice.
A button displayed on a computer screen has two parts, the graphic and the region. The graphic is what you see. The region is what matters. When the graphic is smaller than the region (which is common) you can press the button even if you miss the button by a bit. The region is invisible usually.
What happens when the region of two buttons overlap? That's where Z-Order comes in. One button will be selected and the other will not. It's not random. But here's the thing... buttons are usually placed from top to bottom. When they overlap the last button added, the bottom usually, should be the one selected. If the top button is the one selected this is highly suggestive of an intentional action on the programmers part. It's not an accident.
The party arguing against fraud protection is the party committing the fraud. Eliminate computer voting or make sure the code is transparent to all parties.
