The World's First National Internet Election

InternetVoting writes "Expanding on the limited 2005 Internet voting pilot successes, the small European nation of Estonia will become the first country to allow voting in a national parliamentary election via the Internet. Fresh off the news of France's successful primary election using Internet voting and the announcement of 12 new UK election pilots, is Europe leaving the U.S. behind?"

    Most American states rival the size and population of European countries. On a small scale internet voting is ok. Large scale internet voting would be disastrous!

    Since when North America has been ahead of Europe on something? And by the way, didn't'we all come from there or somewhere close? So how can't you see the relation? Just look at cell phone networks: Europe ,and even South America, are light-years ahead of us with 3G networks, broad coverage and cheaper rates! Oh, and cut the crap with this "free world" non-sense, will ya? Since when is a country where there is a "Patriotic Act" considred a free world?
