* “all your money lives on the internet and it’s safe”

* “internet voting is insecure”

who wins?

Internet voting needs to be anonymous and non demonstrable.

Internet money needs to be the opposite, and reversible through the courts.

I think it is very difficult to secure internet voting, someone can stand behind you and twist your arm or otherwise coerce you to vote for their candidate. Much harder to do when there are observers and witnesses at the polling booth.

>Internet voting needs to be anonymous and non demonstrable

Why? Honestly Internet voting would improve overall turnout, which seems more important. And we probably could accomplish anonymity with some clever cryptography.

It can't be anonymous. There has to be some form of IDV to ensure it is a registered voter.

* “internet voting is insecure” wins because your internet money is not safe. Hackers get into people's bank accounts all the time. It's actually amazing to me how many people here somehow think that internet banking is anything but massively insecure.

Second is also possible in jurisdictions that issue id cards with cryptographic layer AND ability with the companion app to only prove a scope of the identity.

Without saying too much about my home country I believe it's doable.
