It's the 21st Century, a very large percentage of US citizens have home internet or easy access to internet.
We can conduct all sorts of secure financial transactions online (even very large ones), pay taxes, open bank accounts, sign up for health insurance, buy products, renew state drivers' licenses and ID cards - all of which require us to verify our identity. We have pretty decent biometric validation on our phones, all manner of PINs and passwords and photographic methods to confirm that it is in fact us doing something online.
How fucking hard could it POSSIBLY be to implement secure, legitimate, third-party-verifiable (as well as individual-who-voted verifiable) online voting?
Would you say the "Establishment" is institutionally opposed to this, because they then would be unable to covertly influence outcomes? Or is it because they are mostly Luddites who lack a sense of current technological capabilities?
