Which of these vulnerabilities do not apply to any other internet system? And yet all of everyone's money is accessible over the internet and that seems to be working fine. If they really care about security at this level then they should ban all non in person voting methods.

Many countries do exactly that, sometimes with a few exceptions (ex: expats, disabilities, ...). One problem with internet voting that does not apply to money is the "receipt-free" aspect. That is, a voter should not be able to prove that he voted for a particular candidate, as it would allow for vote buying, threats, etc... And it is a hard problem. With money transactions, you generally want the opposite, which is an easier problem.
- creata 9mo agoI don't know why so many people in this thread are asking this, but as has been said elsewhere in this thread: * It does apply to most other internet systems. * Things like banking fraud can be detected and remedied. Election fraud is much harder to detect and even harder to remedy. * Voting requires anonymity. Most internet systems are not anonymous: you are identified by your IP address at the very least.
