Also e-voting can be hacked (I guess they vote from their computer/smartphone, which can be hacked from the other side of the world). The last place you want to care about phishing, IMO, is voting.

Good luck hacking in-person voting or even "physical" mail voting from the other side of the world.

Regular ballot voting can also be hacked and on a scale. Making ballots invalid while counting them, or modifying them in some form or other, intentionally writing wrong values in the counting protocols...

And of course controlled vote or paid vote...

E-voting can and has also led to exposing voting fraud -- see Venezuella.

but it's done in public where anyone observing the count can see that the people counting don't have any pencils etc in their hand

		Exactly - it's done in public, and not centrally. Any citizen can go and check how it's done in their own Geminde.

Yeah but it cannot be hacked from the other side of the world. I think it's a different kind of threat.

If an attacker from somewhere else in the world want to tamper with their votes, they have to get Swiss people to modify the ballots, or get their agent to learn Swiss-German, good luck with that :D.
