  Attacking an electronic voting system requires changing a few integers. Surely this is much easier than stuffing ballot boxes all over the country. In functioning democracies, the polls have observers from multiple parties which makes ballot stuffing infeasible.

  > Stuffing ballot boxes is much easier than an attack on an electronic voting system. If you have free and independent observers it most definitely is not. If you don't have them it doesn't matter (with an electronic system you would have had exactly the same results both in Ukraine and Korea just at a much lower cost..). You'd need much resources and political power to compromise a normal election. With internet voting you'd need just a few people in the right spot (i.e. developing/maintaining the system) and some security vulnerability/backdoor to do it. Also it's virtually impossible to guarantee both security and anonymity with internet voting.
