    I would argue that we can, if we have non-secret voting, so e-voting is
    'only' unusable in votes where we do not want people to be able to track
    our votes (which are the more important votes, obviously).

Non-secret ballots are no problem.  You can publish the list of votes,
and the voters can check that their votes were stated correctly in the
list.  They can also check that all the votes are associated with
elegible voters.

The problems arise from secret ballots.
