Digital online voting is just asking for trouble. The requirement to be present in person solves a lot of issues, I can’t think of a way that online voting could work without serious issues.
I just can’t imagine a way to make it work that prevented people from selling their votes or being forced by others to vote a certain way. Requiring people to show up at a poll and having no way of knowing who someone voted for is a huge part of what makes elections fair.
