I agree, but we need far more than just some online encryption.
1. We need a sort of blockchain system to make sure nobody can change votes later.
2. Every citizen can deposit their vote with their own key tied to their id number that nobody else has. Everyone should be able to look up their own vote via their key.
3. We need more proof of work, require every booth to record a video of the voter and have a unique physical marker so that the video cant be reused and require voters to write something specific to that location during their video.
4. Proof of location? Require voters to transmit their GPS at all times during the entire election day. Then at least group voting (beyond faking your own family members' votes perhaps) should be impossible and multi voting should also be impossible.
4. Make sure that the counting of ballots is instantaneous so that the cheaters have less room to cheat.
5. Proof of time? Surely we should be able to simply use time to our advantage, given that somebody who wants to cheat on a mass scale inherently has less time than the individual voters?
Maybe all of it together, we have so much data about citizens in most countries. It should be absurdly easy to have a citizen be forced via GPS to vote from his area or even his building where he is registered to live before he starts going to his local voting booth. This would give us a lot of confidence that this is really a separate, real person and also the person in question.
We need to use what we have to our advantage. People may be able to fake a lot of things but all of them? I rather trust a complex system like this than literal pieces of paper where any person with a bad mind can just choose to read it differently or stuff a few extra pieces of paper somewhere.
