I'd highly recommend reading in full (it's long) the Eric Geller piece, which interviews a bunch of board members of the Verified Voting Foundation as well as some internet voting vendors (note that in the field "e-voting" is any type of electronic voting typically not mediated by internet, and "internet voting" or "i-voting" is remote casting of official ballot data over a network that depends on internet).
While I don't have it at my fingertips, studies have shown that there are much more dominant factors that affect turnout than the ballot casting method/technology, so I wouldn't hang my hopes there. (Full disclosure: I'm a member of the Verified Voting Foundation Board of Directors; I also believe that at some point in the future we will need to figure out how to run secure government elections without transferring physical matter, but that it's folly to do that now given our current interent and the state of mobile and consumer computing devices.) best, Joe On Mon, Jun 20, 2016 at 3:39 PM, Steven Clift <cl...@e-democracy.org> wrote: > OK, these articles suggest continued skepticism.
