Over the past decade, threats to democracy and elections have become increasingly serious. David Levine, senior researcher at the Alliance for Securing Democracy (ASD) of the US-German Marshall Fund, gave an online interview to Postimehe about possible threats to Estonian online voting ahead of the European Parliament elections.
