I started reading the article with a pitchfork in my hand ready to shout "BUT THE 51% ATTACK", only to be very slowly disarmed by a very reasonable argument.
That being said, I still share the sentiment of some of the commenters here, whereas the complexity of the operation has the potential to derail the whole democratic process.
Even with paper ballots, the U.S.A already has almost half of its voters going into frenzies about how the "process" cannot be trusted. That is, the process of reading check-marks on a paper and tallying the ballots, which is almost primitive compared to the protocols the article is suggesting.
If we were to use a complex suite of protocols, we could easily have another "vaccine" situation, where again almost half of the U.S.A. don't want to get the vaccine because it's "too complex to know if it's safe" (despite the basic building blocks of it being understood and having almost universal use).
I do wish I could vote from my phone, or from my computer though. That would be awesome.
