1. And?
Edited on Wed Jan-28-09 11:01 PM by DontTreadOnMe
Are you for not allowing internet banking as well? I find is easy to login to my bank and check my balance.
I can have a receipt sent to my home address.

This could easily work for voting online. Every voter would have a secure, unique ID.
When you vote, you get an email confirmation of your vote.

When the votes are tabulated, the results can be VERIFIED by each voter... online.
A voter could go login to a U.S. Gov. website to check their vote.
It would BE VERY EASY to verify an online posting result with that of an official election result.

Any tampering of voting could easily be traced, and prosecuted.
Banks don't have ANY trouble handling millions of banking transactions per day, each with exact receipts that are accessible, instantly.


Voting with paper ballots would be much easier to tamper with, and or lose or get misplaced.
