I think online voting would be great if we paired it with measures to facilitate anonymity and prevent fraud. One thing I'd like to see is a change in the notion of personal identifiers and information security. Social security numbers, for example, seem hopelessly outdated in the era of the data breach. But if I had a reasonably secure personal identifier and a reason to believe the process wasn't at great risk of being compromised, the convenience (and therefore the boost in turnout) would be immense.
