Political Position
The most crucial issue is the trustworthiness of e-voting and the legitimacy of democracy. The speaker takes a strong stance in favor of suspending the current e-voting system until its transparency and reliability can be guaranteed. This position is both procedural and value-based, emphasizing that half the nation distrusts its own state due to the elections. The proposal is to halt e-voting immediately.

Topic Expertise
The speaker demonstrates expertise in election procedures and the statistical anomalies associated with e-voting. He/She references specific data points (such as Jevgeni Ossinovski's vote totals and the distribution of votes in Tallinn) as well as historical trends dating back to 2007. The core of this expertise centers on procedural security and the fundamental inability to prove reliability or trustworthiness.

Rhetorical Style
The tone is critical and urgent, stressing that democracy must not be put at risk. Rhetorical questions are employed, and the incompetence of officials is highlighted ("the answer was funny") to underscore the lack of trustworthiness in e-elections. The style is balanced, combining logical arguments (statistical examples) with a powerful value-based appeal regarding public trust in the state.
