Postal voting has two essential, unpatchable vulnerabilities: anyone can open an envelope and can be exposed to external pressure.
People are exposed to enough pressure just by virtue of having to interact with politically passionate people just to get to the booths. In many cases, they don't check photo ID, just evidence of enrollment.
At very least, I'd like to see internet voting implemented without low-hanging security issues, enough confidence in their implementation to open-source the code, and with the backing of security researchers and organisations like the EFF. At least if we had issues like guns being pointed to heads and potential invalid double-votes, we could discuss them in the context they deserve.
