Internet voting fails on both accessibility and security concerns:

http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/20...board.html

Quote:Internet voting, a technology often cited as a solution to the United States' problematic voting machines, received failing security and accessibility grades in the latest in-depth audit conducted by the City of Toronto. Two of the three vendors audited by the city currently have contracts with over a dozen U.S. jurisdictions for similar technologies.

I've spoken to the expert quoted in the article (Joe Kiniry). Code phrases would probably be secure but they do complicate the voting process.
