Remote e-voting

One of the arguments oft used against remote e-voting is that it opens up vote selling and coercion (taken from the ORG briefing pack : "Elections held using remote voting can be contentious because it is difficult to verify that the voter is who they claim to be. Both anonymity and privacy are compromised because others can watch the elector vote. This opens the door to voter coercion and vote buying.", available from http://www.openrightsgroup.org/wp-content/uploads/org-evoting-briefing-pack-final.pdf)
Yet in this article we see postal voting being advocated by one of the contributors to this document! Can someone please explain to me how postal votes are free from these problems?

It seems to me this is a burden being placed on the wrong shoulders. There is not an It system in the world that can stop an individual taking information in their heads and spewing out at the nearest undesirable third party.
