We have e-notaries in Nevada. It requires a webcam/ability to make a video call, and to show your ID in a solid resolution. It's actually probably not the worst thing.

I'm sure it happens, and I know the bar for becoming a notary public (official able to notarize documents) isn't that high, but I haven't heard about a ton of fraud where things were falsely notarized. I suppose accessible notarization is a positive thing, at least as long as fraud doesn't become a problem with the system.
