>>I don't agree. Accessibility to all voters is critical.

Sure, but security is also critical, secrecy is also critical, etc.

>> A voter who can't cast a ballot has been disenfranchised.

That's not true, if a voter cannot cast a ballot alone, he can still vote if you authorise him to have a helper or someone which can cast a vote for him, of course this possibility also gives the possibility of buying votes, it's a tradeoff.

>>Any system that systematically disenfranchises a predictable subset of voters is irretrievably flawed.

Then all the systems are 'irretrievably flawed', what's your point?
