I'm not a supporter of i-voting, but it is true that most of the "concerns" given are pure FUD/bullshit. Studies that consider guest WiFi password being vital information, studies that collate e-voting and i-voting and a lot of other shit I can't recall at the moment.

But the very basic problems are not talked about, namely: * Votes should be counted by independent parties while preserving anonymity * Certificate issuance should be actually monitored by CT logs, every vote that is not in a CT log is dismissed and logged * Voting code should be actually readable and audited (only opsec has been audited so far)

There are a few other problems but I've forgotten them for the time being. These are the problems we should be talking about, not some bogus like, "Omg how can ten grannies vote quickly online".
