I'm sure the director of the self described "leading provider of voting technologies" thinks this all makes sense. But the premise here, that the US has a low voter turnout and e-voting somehow makes it all better, is wrong. Countries with e-voting don't generally have better voter turnout than comparable countries. The countries with the best voter turnout doesn't have any electronic voting systems at all! What they generally have are "boring" things including well functioning free media and high education. But funny he should mention Estonia's e-voting scheme specifically. There was a very interesting look at Estonia's e-voting system at a previous CCC. Here is a video of the talk: https://youtu.be/JY_pHvhE4os https://youtu.be/JY_pHvhE4os (Spoiler: Opsec fails begins at 42 min. But watch the whole thing, it's interesting.) And the system in Estonia is not an especially bad example. E-voting in is hard even in theory, with issues like transparency and voting secrecy, but the systems in actual use have hasn't even nailed the engineering problems yet.
