If postal voting is "hopelessly insecure, " how about online voting?

The interesting bit is that the judge says that the system for dealing
with postal votes was "hopelessly insecure" and expressed regret that
recent warnings about the failings had been dismissed by the government
as "scaremongering".

This - in particular the last bit - bodes ill for the up-coming general
election, especially if there is any online voting as has been trialled
in the past.

You can't spell "slaughter" without "laughter"
