Creating an inclusive voting software is the hurdle. And by inclusive I mean one that allows voter id to be ignored.

paper and ink are expensive. Pixels on screen only require electricity. But like others have said,they[the old crooks still in control] would never do it since they can't control it. Wait for younger generations to take control [10 more years]

To you and I, anon, obviously... but we're talking about normies, here.
Even most politicians see "free" as a note of bad quality, rather than liberation.

its a tougher question than it initially appears. there are multiple avenues in how elections can be corrupted and its hard to design a system that is resistant to all methods.
case in point:
* "total transparency" - will just give rise to massive vote buying and political retribution
* "total anonymity" - will just give rise to fake votes
so ultimately you need a scheme that mandates that voters are registered, id verified, and certified that they voted - however their actual votes need to be anonymous.
its hard to imagine how doing this digitally would improve upon simple paper ballot.
