Citation needed. Those countries do NOT use electronic voting in national elections the way the US does.

Belgium uses the machines, but only in some of the Dutch speaking districts in the Flemish Region. French-speaking Wallonia uses paper as they do in France.

Estonia uses Internet voting, but that is because they have a very sophisticated National ID system that includes everyine having a Smart Card that can ensure remote authentication for Internet voting. It is NOT the sort of black box voting that the US has, with votes tallied by private, for-profit companies with deep financial tues to the two major political parties.

The information I provided on Europe is from the International Foundation for Electoral systems (https://www.ifes.org/) and the Iternational Institute for Democracy & Electoral Assistance (https://www.idea.int/).

I am not sure where your "facts" come from. but they would seem to have come from a source that is a lot darker and smellier.

I have been living and voting in Europe since 2005. Belgium is the only Western European country that uses e-voting in national elections (and look how messed up their politics are!).

It is true that six European countries expermented with e-voting, and subsequently scrapped - yes SCRAPPED LITERALLY in the case of Ireland - those machines in favor of hand-counted ballots.

Why couldn't you take the time to consult even Wikipedia? Are you really that lazy? Or are you that stupid? Or are you that disingenuous?

Or all three?
