I have a non-security reason for not allowing wide-spread online voting.
I *don't* want to make it too easy to vote. I feel that if you can't make an effort to drive to your polling place, then it's OK to me if you don't vote.
I fully understand that there are exceptions and support absentee ballots. I would even support online voting for, say, US Embassies and military personnel.
Citizens throughout the US are concerned about the legitimacy of machine vote counts. Voting systems that do not provide a paper audit trail require that citizens trust the company that has provided the voting system. Voting systems such as that used in Humboldt County, CA, which use optically scanned paper ballots, do leave an audit trail of all cast ballots.
Our Project aims to provide images of each counted ballot, so that any person or organization wishing to do an independent count will have access to a complete set of ballot images.
