I think it should be done online from the comfort of your own home. Sign in with a voter registration number or some form of ID, and have the results go to the County as well as to the respective campaign so that they can keep track as well.

Like they say "if you can bank online you can vote online" trillions of dollars everyday swirl around the internet and if it is safe enough for that it's safe enough to vote.
something internet-based could be plausible - it seems the main compromise would be the principal of ANONYMITY of ballots-

At a polling place, you sign in, complete your anonymous-ballot, goes in box, ballots in box match # of signees. However individual ballots are not associable with individual voters.

You'd have to come up with a way where the internet approach didn't compromise that anonymity- all done in an utterly credible and transparent way. Red-pillers already know, virtually everything we do on the internet is transparent to the spooks. Your "signing-in" to your bank online, is all good coz your identity is key to your account. With the notion of internet voting, we have the challenge of then disassociating the voter, from the ballot they proceed to cast.

There'd also be the coercion problem, IE in public polling place, all can see that an individual voter isn't being coerced by anyone else in the voting booth. Granted, absentee/mail-in voting opens the door to coercion.. but it's a necessary evil for voters who won't be in town on election day.

Internet voting would be a convenience in a perfect world, but in the world we have, it also introduces a whole new set of avenues for election fraud. There's a whole set of election-fraud avenues which are shut down, by voters showing up in person to polling places.

(Blackbox) voting was sold as a panacea to hanging chads, and now we know it was TPTB's panacea to the inconvenience they formerly endured in rigging paper-ballot elections.

It's worth further discussion though... finding some internet approach which met the needs of:

security
accuracy with total transparency
"anonymity" (voters and ballots cast are disconnected)
"voluntary" (no coercion)
auditability (meaning post-election paper hand recounts)

Sounds like a tall order, off hand I'd say more than the internet approach could deliver
