Someone would have to propose an actual system, preserving the (notional) guarantees of the current system (at least anonymity and without property or tax qualifications), for us to be able to comment on why we hadn't actually implemented such a system.
Estonia still uses paper ballots, a lot of people still use them - we could certainly (as some localities have done) implement a similar partial e-voting system, but that wouldn't answer the premise behind the question. Also of course at a bare minimum you'd have to establish what problems such a system would solve that actually exist in the current system (and not just imagined problems that don't actually exist).
It's not hard to imagine a PKI system disenfranchising more voters than we do now, but again, without an actual proposal it's all just speculation.
Where's the proposal? (Score:2)
