As a professional developer, I wouldn't trust myself to audit a voting system and swear on my life it's safe to use for my country. Now, let's step back and remember that MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT AN URL IS. They can't tell the difference between an app and a web site. Internet, the browser and Google. A good part of them still think the Sun goes around the Earth. Even with current simple paper based systems, elections are being influenced. There is no way in hell that anything electronic is going to be kept safe by the general population, unless we duplicate the votes on paper for review, which for me kinda defeat the purpose of going digital. Elections are not a technical problem. Actually the more technical you get, the smarter you try to make it, the farther away you are from helping society. Now an electronic system to make polls for the general population, or for small entities, make sense. So it's still a good subject for research. But if people that have a hard time to read out loud must inspect a hard drive to make sure it hasn't been tempered with, it's game over.
