Internet/Online Voting, Is it too risky? Will peoples votes be lost?

Is internet voting to dangerous? Will  peoples votes be lost? Internet voting can be unsafe. It is susceptible to hackers. But in other countries people are allowed to vote online, so why can't we? First of all Internet or Online voting is very risky a citizen's vote could be lost or changed by a hacker. This new type of fraud would be esy to track but hard to stop. Hackers are even able to hack into government websites. So will a citizen eligible to vote vote be safe  and counted fairly. Will this cause more people to vote? I think that is will make it easier for people to cheat, but it will make it easier for people to vote. Online voting is a good thing but we need stronger fire walls to be able to vote in the future. Who know maybe by the time we, teens are in our 20's we will have online voting.
