Were we willing to give up the secret ballot we could vote online trivially with any device with the benefit of a hardware token to prove your identity. We could then publish the results of everyone's vote with the help of a plain Jane web server and database and verify the integrity of the election by polling a random sample of people to ensure their published vote matched their vote while allowing anyone who wants to change their vote prior to certification to do so. Results at certification would be in exact accord with the people's votes it would also be massively corrupted by undue influence of ones neighbors, family, employers, spiritual leaders, anyone with the money to buy votes, and so forth. I do not understand how we could maintain a secret ballot and rely on a public registry of votes even if turning public vote into actual results required a secret. I also don't understand how the public could be sure that such results weren't silently corrupted even if it could in theory work.
