I yearn for the times when the tech community still believed e-voting was a bad solution in search of a problem. I mark my votes with a pen on a piece of paper. No polling place in my country is more than 300 yards from the voter, at least in cities and towns. I can stick around and watch the counting close enough to verify the count. Costs are neglible compared to the overall budget, with most of the staff being volunteers. Maybe it’s different with some ballot initiative every second week, or whatever the Swiss are doing. Maybe it doesn’t work as well if you vote for 26 up and down the government from president to dog catcher, to dog-to-be-caught. But in those cases, I‘d still rather give up that surplus of choice, rather than the system that is not just safe, but so obviously safe even old people don’t believe conspiracy theories about it.
