Re-vote electronically as many times as you want (each e-vote overriding the previous one) or cast a paper ballot on the election day which overrides the electronic ballot.
No one's mentioned Estonia yet, so here we go: http://www.vvk.ee/voting-metho...: secret ballot over the Internet, separation of voter and vote, vote verification, and last but not least, open-sourced voting software. Researchers have pointed out a few hypothetical attack vectors available to state-level entities (last from 2014) which have been closed ever since, but the bigger problem is actually handling the PR during the elections, in the sense that a malicious person or persons can claim their votes were "hacked", drum up the media coverage, and even though they'll be proved wrong, the integrity of the ongoing elections would still be compromised.
I did a little test and found out that my WinXP boots up in 24 seconds, whereas my Nokia E71 smartphone boots up in.... 30 seconds.
Last time I saw a cell phone boot up immediately after pressing the power button was probably in 2001.
So after the first presidential candidate dies, say around 2020, the urge to retaliate will be overwhelming. After that, it's tit-for-tat, all the way to hell.
Who are you and how did you find out the plot for my upcoming political thriller?
Remember, terrorism isn't about money, it's about instilling fear in people, i.e. terrorizing. So if you start shooting down every hijacked plane, what actually happens, is that the terrorists will use their readily available supply of martyrs to continuously hijack airplanes with no other intent than getting shot down. Then you either keep your word, shoot the planes and the people within, and soon nobody in their right mind will ever board a plane again (public uproar notwithstanding), or you don't shoot the planes and start negotiating with the terrorists.
Heck, this card will be TOO important! What if it is lost!
Doesn't make any difference, as most people carry their driver's license along with various cards anyway in the wallet. If I were to lose my wallet, I'd have to go through quite a gauntlet to get my driver's license, car's certificate of registration, n+1 credit and debit cards, etc all replaced. Replacing a single card would certainly be a bit more convenient.
He may have chosen Estonia in particular because there's recently (in the last week) been DDoS attacks targeting Estonia's government websites.
Those attacks were (still are, actually) carried out not by local "greedy teenagers", but top-level Russian authorities. The large-scale attacks were traced to IP addresses in Moscow owned by the Russian presidential administration and government.
The bit about identification numbers is actually true. In Estonia, everyone's [1] SSN can be looked up from a public LDAP directory (ldap://ldap.sk.ee). The SSN is used, as you said, only for identification. There are however some people who view it as a security hazard, but the same people can't tell the difference between identification and authorization...
[1] - Everyone who's been issued an ID Card; that is, about 90% of the population.

Basically Samsung is saying there is no risk of having an SSD price explosion.
And if anyone knows about explosions, it's Samsung.

the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, has a PhD in Physics. Can any other country boast a top political leader who has a STEM leader . . . ?
Ene Ergma, long-time president of the Estonian Parliament, is an astrophysicist with a double PhD in physics and math.

That's why you can't trust computers. I calculated it on paper - the final digit is 6.
