New South Wales Attacks Researchers Who Found Internet Voting Vulnerabilities
Internet voting has two essential, unpatchable vulnerabilities: voters cannot vote anonymously and are exposed to external pressure.That's why we have voting booths: so people are guaranteed to be able to vote without someone looking over their shoulder (or pointing a gun at their heads).If people cannot vote in total freedom and anonymity, it's not a truly free and democratic vote.We should stop trying to "solve" everything with technology. Some things should be "hard", because it's essential to get it right.
