@mattblaze Just to be clear to everyone who is replying (not to Matt Blaze, he is very well aware of this): there are a ton of things we do online that people often point to in order to ask "why not voting?".
Amongst others:
- The threat model is different
- The risks are different
- Possible mitigations are different.
E.g.: we can reimburse a financial loss which can mitigate a ton of things. We do not know how to reimburse your vote.
@mattblaze As Matt Blaze often rightly points out, elections are complex and consist of many more processes than just casting a vote.
But even for that one aspect, we're not really sure how to do it online in a way to guarantees the strict requirements we'd like to have, in the (very hostile) environment of the internet.
