If you can vote online, and on paper, and the paper one always trumps the electronic one, then a fraudulent party would just fake the paper ballots and send them in for everyone in the country. Everyone who depended on the electronic vote would then no longer control their vote.
- simpss 9y agothe same can be said for the paper ballots that are never used. Voter turnout is never 100%. As an example faking even 10% of the abstained votes would have swayed the brexit results. I don't see how this makes online voting insecure, fake paper ballot risk has always been there and has been deemed to be a mitigated risk.
