What about coerced voters who are the victim of domestic abuse[1][2]?

- relix 10y agoExactly, so it is at least as secure against coercion as current methods.
- icebraining 10y agoNo, it's not. The paper system allows you to spoil the vote after taking the picture. You can't do that with the digital system.
- relix 10y agoWhich is still coercing your vote. Not to mention normal postal voting is also susceptible to the same problem, and I bet we'd all agree that's much less secure, yet we still use it.
