Its about time someone forged ahead with some new ideas for electronic voting.
Personally, I'm excited to see progress finally being made in this direction. Its way past due, in my opinion. Of course, I won't really be happy until I can vote over the internet.
In an age where you can pay your bills or file your taxes online, I find it hard to believe they can't find a way to make an online election secure and accurate. I mean, think of the positives:
* Immediate real-time results
* Convenience = Better Participation
* No hanging chads!
At least this system is a step in the right direction, even though my dream of voting from the comfort of my couch is probably still a long ways off.
