I think Estonia will pull this off and it will be useful. Take a look at their success with e-voting, for example. Is any other country even close to these numb

  Nobody sane would want e-voting. It has exactly the same problems as voting machines and in addition to that is heavily vulnerable to DDoS attacks and ID theft. Tom Scott on electronic voting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3_0x6oaDmI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3_0x6oaDmI

  >Take a look at their success with e-voting How do you know that it was successful? I'd say that, in order to be successful, an election must ensure that (1) the votes are accurately counted and (2) the voters aren't bribed or coerced w.r.t. their votes. Traditional voting at polling places ensure this by having voters mark their ballots in secret and keeping the paper ballots available for a recount. I don't see how it is possible to provide either ballot accuracy or ballot secrecy if voters can vote on insecure (possibly malware-infected) computers in an uncontrolled physical location (possibly being watched by someone bribing or coercing them to vote a certain way).
