Electronic voting. WHY!?!?!?

 I live in Alberta, Canada, I have lived here since the day I was born. Canada has a sort of democracy for our government as many people know. Despite our elections being lower stake than those for our southern neighbor (The USA), our elections are still to be considered a target for those with evil intent. I do not understand why we should support E-Voting, I do not understand what possible advantage there is to an electronic election. More importantly, lets assume the security of an electronic election is higher than a traditional one... how do explain this security to someone without a background in technology like many senior citizens and also most casual users? It's impossible. Not only are electronic elections a bad idea for security and trust reasons but also they are not solving any problems with regards to elections that I am aware of. Tom Scott with Computerphile has done a better job of explaining this than I ever could. I value both privacy and security, my family has been in the security industry for four generations (Great grandpa, grandpa, and father are/were all locksmiths for most of their lives). My mind is geared to see flaws in systems and find ways to make them more secure, and the attack surface on physical ballot voting is far smaller than electronic voting.
