I know this fries the brains of my security colleagues involved in election security, but how can you see how much voter disenfranchisement exists and *not* think that the greatest democratic benefit would be from making voting easier? I believe secure mobile voting is possible.

OK, help -- why do you think mobile voting is securable? Do you believe this in a theoretical future world where platform security is better, or in the current world (and if so, how?)? Because, honestly, it doesn't look very securable to me in this world.

I don't think securable is a fair bar, it should be the current level of security. I think people say "sure, everything is bad, but this will be bad... at scale", and I don't find that convincing enough to ignore the benefits.

Happy to find one where we do agree! Now, you too can sit back and watch people explain mobile security risks to me in my mentions as if I have no experience in mobile security nor making things possible in the face of those risks.

No offense, but election security has a pretty specific threat model. You could be the top expert on mobile security on the planet and still be missing something due to applying the wrong threat model.

Nothing beats pen and paper when it comes to the traceability and comprehensibility of the process. Understandable for everyone and therefore the only real, democratic solution.

Its an interesting concept, so you can just give your cell phone to someone that collects them and then vote for you, so much easier and less fuzz! jeez, we should've done that already! and of course, use blockchain for securityz

Thank f*CK! I thought I was alone in the world in this debate. If we in the security world don't help make remote voting as secure as practicable it'll just carry on and happen without us. I'm fed up with all the knee-jerk doomsaying every time the topic comes up.

I fight enough battles in security that I don't need another one, but I also believe this.
