Interesting article (longish) on online voting. Not ready for prime time?
As it stands, the only provable means of secure voting is paper ballots cast in person with open counting and election observers to prevent cheating. And even that is not perfect. The digital age is apparently not quite upon us yet.

Maybe, Tom, these experts need to supplement their diet with vitamin D so they can overcome their anxiety of online voting ;)
EASE OCCASIONAL ANXIETY & IMPROVE YOUR MOOD WITH VITAMIN D

The above headline should be filed in the "you can't make this BS up" folder :(
Btw, most of us, if not all (let's not kid ourselves: it's ALL of us) will get sufficient vitamin D without even trying -- you know, stepping outside during the day or the fact that foods, such as bread or milk, say, are already heavily fortified with vitamins.
Hey, here's another suggestion: Maybe we can supplement our vitamin D intake with some rancid Omega-3's pills? Who needs fish when you can pop a pill?
Believe it or not there is something called "Hydroxy vitamin D". I'm surprised the president of the United States hasn't pushed it as a Covid19 cure.
I'm skeptical of voting, period. Democracy requires a bit more in the way of participation.
"Btw, most of us, if not all (let's not kid ourselves: it's ALL of us) will get sufficient vitamin D without even trying"
We don't.
