In Estonia you can vote from almost anywhere if you have ID-card and working internet connection.

By any chance, is your most recently elected president called "moot"? Is there or has there ever been a legal motion to rename the country to "4chanistan"?

I think I might know what caused your recent problems, and it's not Russia or the EU.

Hehe, luckily it's not that easy to get the ID-card.

You have to prove you are Estonian citizen (or become one) and the system is secure enough that people can trust their money and sign legal documents with this system.

Actually this is one weak point in the system. If some crook gets hold of your ID-card and your PIN codes, he can sign documents that are legally binding. (For example sell your house for a dollar etc.)

Sorry. I don't understand this comment.

Is it trying to say, that electronic voting is by definition a failure? It doesn't seem to criticize any specific aspect of the Estonian e-voting system.

Or is it just calling names?

"moot" is the screenname of the founder of 4chan, who have a tendency to spoil online polls. For example: http://www.buzzfeed.com/reddit/also-the-work-of-4chan-pic

No, you have it all wrong.

Anonymous for President. Name change to /B/stonia

I jest, I jest :) Still, I've heard of some cool governmental tech over there. Voting, as grandparent said, along with cell-phone payment of gasoline, painless e-banking with 2 factor auth, and other cool stuff.

I also remember a pyramid that was built in that area that was on History International... I _think_ it was there, as it talked more about the architecture than the location, other than temps going from 80F to -30F.

Yes, /e/stonia would be an... interesting place.
