I want to start the conversation by asking why would you even want to on line voting and i will say im coming from Seattle Washington where we have a robust mailin ballots system and its quite easy. I think the appeal is enormous. In theory its largely been attempted in this country for military servicemembers and it could be used for people with disabilities who f dont have a lot of access to the polls. I think if we somehow had a robust on line Voting System that would drastically increase participation and the bigger question than how we would get there.
