Wired News: Online Voting Clicks in Estonia
I believe in the democratic system one person one vote. I’ve been down on it since 2000 when I believe the election was stolen from the one person. I live overseas and have stopped voting but a system introduced in Estonia for online voting seems to b a step in the right direction. Take a gander and see if you agree. One part of the article I’d like to re-print here has the description on why to move forward with the idea:
Physical voting stations can be disrupted, he noted. Absentee ballots can be stolen, or fraudulently submitted. Long lines can produce the equivalent of denial of service attacks. Certainly the experience of the United States with confusing and mismarked paper ballots, contested recounts, and poorly designed voting machines have shown that non-internet systems are far from perfect, he said.
