But some people still hope for online voting. This is a preview of how other countries could decide your elections if you switch to online voting now (and that's assuming your own intelligence agencies don't compromise it first to support whoever is more favorable to them and to an expansion of their powers).

Chinese state actors even get involved in municipal council politics in Canada http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/government-infi...

Insecure online voting would be icing on the cake

Bingo.

If you can't be bothered to vote in person, which I will argue needs to have fewer obstacles in its' own right, then I don't care about your vote.

This is not about online voting. Though I'm in agreement that it's certainly not going to be securely implemented in the near future, especially given the way government (state and federal) IT contracts are generally handled (read: poorly).

E-voting machines are already generally internet accessible though right?
