Internet Voting Voted Down

from the no-go dept

It seems that you shouldn't expect to vote in the next Presidential election in your pajamas from your trusty internet-connected computer at home. There are just too many security and privacy issues that it's unlikely that internet voting will be taking off any time soon. The article does go over a number of different voting projects that are being worked on, but it doesn't seem particularly optimistic about any of them. I can certainly understand the concerns and the caution, but it certainly doesn't seem like our current voting system is free from all bugs right now anyway...
