I had a similar experience. My first job was to study the deployment of electronic ballot box in a region in northern Italy. It's such a problematic process on many levels, and it's incredible how many things can go wrong. Things you cannot even imagine: like finger traces on the touch screen. We just observed an increase of risks, without an increase in benefits. For extra safety, our machine produced a paper trace to every vote as well, but it's just not worth it... Paper and pencils are still the best technology for elections. And ofc voting at home, by mail or electronically, like in Switzerland or Estonia, is not democratic enough for me. To make it democratic, you have to be alone in a safe space with maximum privacy: a ballot box. You should not be pressured by family or anyone. I know for sure that in Switzerland (I lived there), in many households, ballot box of the wife are often ticked by the man, and that's nonsense.
