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.
We get incompetence with ballot boxes too, no? Where does the 150 million figure come from, you're already imagining a straw man implementation, I suspect. We can imagine a straw man nation-wide implementation of ballot boxes that is also bad at scale, no?

150 million is the upper bound on the number of actual people who vote in a presidential election. You're right that it would more likely be a huge number of smaller, different apps which I don't suspect would be any better in the end.

Right, but you agree that we already have things like lost ballot boxes, right? I hope we agree paper ballots are not perfect and infallible, so why does mobile voting have to be?

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