New incredibly cumbersome online voting system

"Maybe Online Voting Isn't A Pipe Dream After All"

     Finally, you'd have to have faith that people would be willing to
     enter strings of numbers into both a handheld token and the online
     electoral website. Not to mention the fact that the system's security
     also depends on voters' willingness to flip a coin and take action
     based on the result. If in practice most people just entered the
     "column A" digits out of habit, that would undermine the system's
     reliability.

Uselessly cumbersome, unworkable, and does nothing to solve the
problems of integrity of the election process in terms of maintaining
recountability (e.g. validated paper receipts or other mechanisms) and
anonymity of votes.
