"I see online voting as a way to increase the number of ordinary people that vote."
That is a good goal. However...
All half-measures to increase participation, including registration drives, early voting, absentee voting, postal balloting, same day registration, etc., do not work.
Short of universal voter registration and compulsory voting, the only measure which increases voter participation is competitive races. This means fair redistricting.
Online voting, of any kind, at best, should be considered an opinion survey of questionable provenance.
