Internet voting is insecure and should not be used in public elections - CITP Blog

All internet voting systems are insecure. The insecurity is worse than a well-run conventional paper ballot system, because a very small number of people may have the power to change any (or all) votes that go through the system, without detection.

Yet another election complaint about proceedings of electronic voting in #Estonia provides the Supreme Court an opportunity to address the constitutional ambiguity stemming from the naïve position that computers as such make the elections more trustworthy. https://ausadvalimised.ee/en/salastamine-riigikohtus/ #evoting #internetvoting #complaints
Election observation must receive a clear constitutional foundation

The association representing election observers expects the Supreme Court to clearly stipulate how public accountability of the essential steps in ascertaining the election results is ensured in the case of electronic voting, as a result of the election complaint by Märt Põder, member of the board of Fair Elections Estonia.

Last year I created this experimental learning object for Internet voting, but I haven't really had time to prepare guidance for either students or teachers. It's meant to be used in high school, but also explain some basics of e-voting to variety of audiences, maybe even politicians. The funniest use for this would be e-voting hacking contests. How should I motivate myself to finish this project? https://pseudovote.net/en #internetvoting #evoting #votereducation
