[pp.int.general] Online voting versus online discussion

[Richard Stallman]

    We are very aware of the possibilities and dangers e-Voting gives us.
    But the strong opposition is not a good idea. e-Voting will come, or has
    alread come (It is already widley used in switzerland by the state).

That is not a reason, that is a self-fulfilling prophesy.

    e-Voting, if it is done right is more secure than any paper based voting
    without encryption could ever be.

Nobody knows whether this is possible.  If it isn't possible,
then your self-fulfilling prophesy amounts to defeatism.
