Earlier in this thread, Spike asked if any European countries used  
voting machines. While Italy and the UK do not, it turns out that  
Estonia goes even further and votes over the Internet and apparently  
quite successfully.

They call their system E-voting and it works because all Estonians  
have national ID smartcards that are tied into a nation-wide public  
key infrastructure. It allows Estonians to remotely verify their  
identity for all manner of transactions including voting.

Why can't we have something like that? What is the main argument  
against the USA issuing national ID?
