The World’s First National Internet Election

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?

It still impresses me that these are being picked up so quickly when they are clearly so vulnerable to inconsistencies. What’s the point of voting when you know there is a reasonable chance your vote could be “lost”?
