It has to be implemented well, but in my opinion the only way to get a really high voter turnout is to allow people to vote online from the comfort of their own homes. Sure there are opportunities for abuse, but the existing system has flaws as well.

I suppose that opportunity for abuse is a huge factor in it coming through. Between security concerns and the like, but I think you're right. If nothing else it'd be easier to keep up to date and keep consistent as opposed to the insane and utterly out of date machines and tech that's used presently.
