Online Voting In 2004 To Require Windows
letxa2000 writes "According to this article at CBS, a trial Internet voting system will be made available to 100,000 voters in 2004--particularly military and overseas U.S. citizens. As an American living overseas I think this is a step in the right direction. But the article also says 'Voters using SERVE can register to vote and cast their ballots from any computer using Microsoft Windows with Internet access.' Why the Windows requirement? Is that really going to make online voting secure?"
UPDATE candidates SET votes="0" WHERE name="Your Opposing Candidate";

I am sure there are some proactive Slashdot readers that know more about this issue that could try to enlighten the ruling parties

You fools! Surely the computers will be exploited for this! This could lead to something completely unprecedented like one man being backed by the majority of American voters for the presidency and then the other man winning, as crazy as that example is!
Over here, we call them "ballot boxes". HTH!
YLFIOne god, one market, one truth, one consumer.
At least its better than sending it to Florida.
A friend of mine suggested tonight that since American power extends so far around the world, it would only be fair to let everyone vote in US elections, not just US citizens.
One major problem with that would be that they wouldn't know enough about our candidates. Oh, wait, never mind.
