Coercion won't be a problem at all if voting places are just like in secret ballot voting. Online connection to a central server isn't even required. Just have an audited code and its verified executable run in a physically secured system.

Do any of those exist? Is this possible in practice, in this decade?

If the runtime code is audited and compiled in a secure compiler then the executable is good and secure. Run it on a clean system(embedded system) which is also physically secure. Its not only possible it already exists. Many countries do have tried and tested such systems (am not sure if compiler is audited by them) used in production.
