How many people are interested in breaking into the Estonian elections, versus how many are interested in gaining power over the US elections?
You think there is no corruption or organised gangs or corrupt politicians in Estonia (or any other country)? Anywhere there is political office, someone'll want to scam their way in.
Yes a small country can be less of a target, but they also need less votes to swing it, and have less money to protect against it.

Anywhere there is political office, someone'll want to scam their way in. I never said that. What I'm saying is that the potential payoff is much smaller. > Yes a small country can be less of a target, but they also need less votes to swing it, and have less money to protect against it. There's a big difference between the ROI on the control of Estonia vs. the ROI on control of the US. The ROI is geometrically greater in the second case, which means that Estonia can hope to afford to protect itself, whereas it's probably hopeless for the US.
