Everything I’ve seen about internet voting has shown me that making it even little bit secure and fair is basically impossible. Would be interested in some information to the contrary!
The fundamental problem with online voting is that putting the data online even in an isolated manner immediately creates the potential for a small attack to affect large numbers of votes, which is much less cost effective an attack than when they’re on paper and physically distanced.
Someone will inevitably mention the Tom Scott voting machines video, whenever this topic comes up, so it may as well be me today.
