Swiss online voting system

mercredi 29 mai 2019 à 02:00

The shiny new Swiss online voting system has a devastating security hole: those running the election could replace the entire collection of votes.

Online voting normally offers another security flaw: if the voter's computer has been cracked, that will quite likely make it possible to falsify per vote.

Then there is the general danger of all remote voting, whether digital or not: your boss or your spouse can control how you vote. Until society no longer makes people vulnerable to such pressure, we should limit remote voting to people who present a specific valid justification.
