Moving to Estonia

Electronic voting is a bad idea. Almost no upside, but lot of downside. Nobody can proof that the system works, nobody can keep it secure (noone cares about estionian elections, imagine the US...), nobody can proof authenticity in retrospect. And of course, they can’t really be anonymous.

And for what? So that somebody that is too lazy or too disengaged to fill out a paper form or spend 10 minutes at a voting both can have a say in the countries direction?

Why do you believe none of this can be proofed or kept secure?

I'm guessing they are talking about electronic voting in general, and not the specific system Estonia uses.

And yet it works fine in Estonia.

Not everywhere has to be technologically backwards.
