WA Election To Try Online Voting

Posted by Soulskill on from the opportunity-cost dept.

AuMatar writes "According to the Seattle Times, the King Conservation District is going to allow online voting to combat chronic low turnouts. You can already view the voting portal. As a citizen of WA seriously concerned with politics, anything that completely removes a paper trail like this scares me. Luckily, this is probably the least important election in the state. I wonder if anyone will hack the election so 300% of voters vote for Firefly or Stephen Colbert or something."

    Perhaps the biggest worry here is that this is Washington State, home of Redmond, and Micro$oft. What do you think the odds are that Ballmer will want to throw his two cents (I mean, chairs) into the debate?
