E-Stonia Gets E-Voting
from the online-it-is dept
Estonia is definitely seen as an up-and-coming area for technology these days, so it shouldn't come as a huge surprise that they're the first nation to offer nationwide online voting in an election. Still, only about 10,000 people took part -- and, of course, there are plenty of questions about the security of the system. While you have to give them credit for putting in place an awful lot of security measures to deal with the online voting, the scary part is that it's still quite difficult to figure out if there's been any kind of fraud or tampering with the system -- and no way to go back and recheck if there has been.

Estonesians
In those kind of countries, "nationalism" generally means the same thing as racial pride.

Re: Estonesians
The Russian occupationist minority is still there, increasingly integrated into society. There was no forced relocation. They have the right to citizenship (albeit they have to pass a language test, many have of course) to vote.
It's not Estonia's fault the Putin treated his diaspora like crap as a PR play.
