@HcInfosec @jeroen Yes, and every technical expert who has seriously studied online voting as come to the same conclusion about the risks, because there are fundamental problems and requirements that preclude building an Internet voting system sufficient for civil elections.

It's not that scientists don't think Internet voting would be nice. Just as physicists don't think perpetual motion machines wouldn't be terrific. It's just that they understand fundamental reasons we can't make them.

@HcInfosec @jeroen You want an Internet voting system? You have two choices. One is to relax some of the basic requirements and civil rights associated with voting (at least in the US), such as the secret ballot. The other option is to have elections where we can never be sure who actually won, and that are vulnerable to disruption by anyone connected to the Internet.

Neither option seems great.

@kallekn @mattblaze @HcInfosec @jeroen Scale, primarily (In the most recent election, more than 50% voted electronically, and that meant 312,181 ballots electronically.).

That said, look at the two 2019 maps of Estonia voting breakdown on Wikipedia ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voting_in_Estonia ) - those two images seem to indicate that voting electronically seems to heavily favour one party more than if the votes were done with paper ballots.
