In reply to the discussion: We Need Online Voting [View all]TheTruthBeKnown

The US is only number one in violence, executions, military, nukes, murders, wars, etc. The US is near last in all positive areas.
If the US was smart it would pick the best parts of what other countries are doing well and adopt the ideas here. Only fools mindlessly believe the US is #1 when it's really 30-50 in all areas except ones related to violence.
Thanks for your educated answer. It's refreshing on this site.

You keep going back to code as if only programs matter. What if Cisco hides code in their routers?

Not a single voting machine of any kind in my State. What we prefer is voter access to voting.

But you did not answer the question. The answer is no, other nations do not vote on line.
