Normally I would agree with you, but only if we insist everything has to be completely over the internet.
Normally I would agree with you, but only if we insist everything has to be completely over the internet. If we make it so that voters have to collect a random token from a box (ie you stick your hand in and take one) and that they have to show id to get to pick one then there is no way to vote twice (at least not without a fake id) and no way to connect the voter to the vote. It does require on site access but that could be allowed over a period of several months if need be. We already have voting by mail, of course, but this way you get to wait until election day to cast your actual vote and it is too easy to connect the vote to the voter. The issue with a gun being pointed to the head could be solved rather easily by issuing every voter a random number of votes and marking on as special (perhaps it comes in another envelope). All none special votes are automatically ignored, so you would gain nothing by pointing the gun at somebodys head. This also solves the software trust problem: allow an open specification and an API test endpoint and somebody will write an open source voting program. As a bonus the software could submit the votes to an api at all the registered parties and any news org so that everybody could agree on the count.

Why has she gone through so many iPhones?
The biggest problem with Europe is the lack of innovation.
