voter coercion is orthogonal to online/offline voting.
- Crito 12y agoNo, not really. Some forms of voting facilitate it, while others discourage it. Voting that is done in person, in private (for instance: voting booths) is less susceptible to coercion than voting which is not done in person (for instance: mail-in). Systems that give out a receipt for the vote placed are also more susceptible to voter coercion, particularly if they are mathematically provable receipts that cannot be fabricated (nearly all "blockchain" proposals).
