Unless I’m mistaken, it would be impossible to make online voting secure. Count-fraud would be ridiculousy easy, and rampant (but maybe it already is).
In some my articles, I discussed a way of making the vote-count completely secure. Instead of repeating it all here, I’ll just say that I referred to it as public-imaging of ballots (which could be old-fashioned hand-marked, or could be touchscreen-generated paper ballots).
Of course it would be quite impossible with online voting. I suspect that advocates of online voting haven’t been paying attention to the count-fraud problem.
