This election year, millions of Americans are voting either in person or through the mail. Only a handful of states allow online voting.
Estonia, a country in northern Europe, has allowed voting via the internet for years and nearly half of voters there do so. Ari Daniel of IEEE Spectrum reports.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel considering they have less then 2 million people yes it's more secure there. How about we try online voting on the state levels first!

The issue I see is security. I am going to guess that more people and even nations will target the US voting system than would the Estonia system. We, being a target, would need a much higher level of security to protect from bad actors both within and outside this country.
