Nothing as long as every potential voter also has equal access to opportunities to vote.

The reality is that some people can walk up and vote while others have to wait hours to vote.

If we trust online systems to handle medical records, billions of financial transactions, and taxes it seems to me that we can create a system that allows easy online voting for every citizen without the artificial roadblocks we throw in place.

Of course, not everyone really wants easy and secure voting for all citizens.



People want a system they can understand and trust. Electronic voting is not that for most people.
