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.
