I believe that is correct. Secure online elections are not possible with current technology, nor with any reasonably foreseeable technology. I am not a security expert myself but that is my understanding of the literature on the subject.
As far as I can tell, this is about as debatable as the fact that carbon dioxide traps heat from the Sun in the Earth’s atmosphere.
By which I mean that ignorant know-nothings, paid shills, and useful idiots will try to argue to the contrary, but among people with valid opinions there is no argument.
