The electronic ID is a great idea for everything except for voting.

I can easily go to someone's place, make sure he votes for my candidate and give him 10$. A lot of people with low interest in politics would sell their vote, I suppose.

Polling booths are still safer than all other options (mail voting, electronic voting, etc...)

And then after taking your money I can vote again as many times as I want for someone I actually like. Only the last vote counts. And I think that next elections it will be possible to override your electronic vote on paper at the polling stations.

1. the vote buyer can lock the eID in the vault until the end of the elections

2. the vote seller can be paid only after the end of the elections, given s/he didn't voted on paper (it it all possible to authenticate wuthout eID on the voting station).

Is it always like this? I could also go at someone's place one minute before the voting closes.

Voting at the voting booth is still more secure.

Mail voting already exists and works fine, despite the scenario you're positing. I live in Washington state where it seems to be the default.

In person voting at the voting booth is without any doubt more secure. For something so important like voting I would only use the most secure option.

I live in a country with only voting at the voting booth and I am perfectly happy with it!

In addition to this, the fact that you are not aware of voting fraud does not mean it does not happen. That's why it's important to care about potential voting fraud.
