Estonian Internet Voting Called a Success

composer314 writes "The Associated Press is reporting that the small European nation of Estonia has conducted large-scale voting over the Internet. From the article: "Last week, Estonia became the first country in the world to hold an election allowing voters nationwide to cast ballots over the internet. Fewer than 10,000 people, or 1 percent of registered voters, participated online in elections for mayors and city councils across the country, but officials hailed the experiment as a success." The system is built on Linux." I guess it works well when the Internet is considered a human right.

Such a success, we got back twice as many votes as our population! We had no idea it would work so well!

Re:Isn't Estonia that "fake country" in Dilbert?

I actually wonder about some of those -stan prefixed former Russian countries...do they exist?

Like -stanUkraine? Or -stanGeorgia? Hmm. Not sure, but I think they're fake.
