Elections on the Internet -- Not Any Time Soon

jACL writes "From the Technology Review article: "After several years debating minimum requirements for voting equipment, the computer science and public policy communities appear to agree that the Internet--as it exists today--can't sufficiently safeguard the privacy, security and reliability of the voting process. Pitfalls range from the obvious, such as malicious hackers, to the obscure. For example: Every state requires that votes be cast in secret, but how can officials verify that a party hack isn't standing beside a remote voter?"" Unfortunately, this is probably all to true.

I would vote for cowboy neal. He could probably do a better job than most of the morons that are in office now. Besides, for all of the bashing he gets here on slashdot her deserves to have one of those purty little interns.
