The Ohio law says that "During an election and the counting of the ballots, no person shall do any of the following: ... Solicit or in any manner attempt to influence any elector in casting the elector's vote". If read literally, it would ban influencing any voter anywhere on Election Day, not only those who are actually in line to vote. Surely that is over-broad?

If I want to follow the election on YT, can someone recommend a news outlet to watch?

@guillaume31 Guillaume, I have to say I did feel relief reading your comments above. (I'm writing in English due to my nerves and election day here in states). Every question or comment, basically, I have ever made to this OP has been denigrated or twisted into something it wasn't. And recently, he decided to make every comment into a wiki answer regardless of whether it was worth it or not. (Take a look at the question re point man in French.)

If there were no social media, you would be my concubines", and then shortly after "I wanted to re-post this for the communists who missed it", in response to a group of young men who had shared their vote for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.[

For those with crossover interests, the Video Production election still has no candidates...

@reirab no the Estonian system is specifically designed in a way where such an attack would be impossible to pull off. The attackers could take down the infrastructure servers forcing a fallback to paper ballots but it’s impossible to fake the results. The explanation is inside the technical papers, I can’t summarize it in a 400 character comment. But zero days do not matter for election counting or results, at all.

@JonathanReez The issue, though, is that defenders must be right 100% of the time, while attackers only need to be right once. Sure, an issue that's found will most likely get fixed before the next election, but that doesn't provide much consolation when your current election has been compromised. Most holes that attackers use do eventually get closed, but it's very often only after they've been exploited (usually because they were only discovered in the aftermath of the attack.) An important election in a large country is the kind of target that APTs will save up their zero-days for.

Presumably, internet voting is acceptable in Estonia because enough Estonian people trust it. I doubt that the same would be true in most countries where it might be proposed. In the US in particular, whichever party proposed internet voting, the other party would surely be against it because they don't trust their opponents to implement it (or oversee its implementation) securely and fairly. And sure, plenty of Americans don't trust their current election system either, but that is more because the GOP has told them not to trust it; the GOP would tell them not to trust internet voting, too.

What are the proposed advantages? Probably ease of access. However, the turnout (around 63% at the last parliamentary election in Estonia) is not particularly convincing and way below some other European nations.

@JoeW they've also got a system in place where voters can validate that their vote was properly counted and that the voter registry wasn't change during the election.

The timing for the election couldn't be worse at least for me... my kids had vacations my company's management just brought out their plan for getting rid of at least 300 employees. Since my team wouldn't have a real task in the next year and the company didn't acquire any projects where our expertise is needed I look forward to a bright future :S

What seems to distinguish him is his own ego and hubris. He seems less concerned about liberal ideology than about actually winning the election for himself. He seems unconcerned about demonstrating the criminality and corruption that liberals would usually prefer to keep discreet and concealed. And he seems utterly uncowed by what the liberals have thrown at him to discipline him into compliance, which instead seems to have angered him further.
