It's an interesting concept.

Re: "Cannot be manipulated unlike GPS signal derived coordinates, which can be altered by the user's device before relaying them to the server"

Is it possible to ensure that the data is not manipulated? If the user had to install a voting software package on their phone, then couldn't that piece of software take responsibility for pulling the co-ordinates from the device and encrypting it? I am assuming most modern phones are secure enough that the signal from the GPS that is made available to applications can be trusted but maybe I am wrong?

Re Starlink: Is it possible to trace your route through a specific satellite and to look up the location of that satellite? That seems like a relatively easy and secure check (aside from the VPN/Proxy concerns which feel like they would be a larger challenge in this scenario since I am assuming the delays through the satellites would be more significant than delays through fiber.)
