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?
