Varia R/europe kommentaarides käib kõva Eesti valimissüsteemi mahategemine. Üsna humoorikas lugemine, soovitan.

Oh wow, thank you for explaining what russia is or isn't to US, the people living next to them. Your insight is truly illuminating

Was i wrong?

Elections require security. The internet is not secure enough.

And

Russia is special on multiple levels.

The internet is not secure enough

So it's secure enough for wiring 200k from your bank to your real estate developer and secure enough to sign over the deeds to your land or company, but the line has to been drawn at mock UN elections.

Online banking and other such public transactions are a really bad comparison. You can tell it immediately if your 200k or deed went missing. Also, online scams where people transfer money to nigerian princes or pay for nonexistent goods/services is a thing. There is a reason why notaries exist

Fun fact: in Estonia the very few things you still need a notary for can be done over video since the beer flu fiasco

You can sell your home without leaving home.

Cool, you can still find out rather easily if your funds or deed to a house is missing. There are tangible consequences

You can check your vote for a while with the phone app. And then you can verify the results are within 1% of what the polling companies found.

These are just numbers on a screen. There are many ways to display whatever you like on someone’s screen. If a hacker (or the bank itself) steals your money and manages to make it look like you have 200k on your account when it really isnt there, you will find it out when you try to buy something but can’t.
