Social Security, credit card numbers, bills paid daily, etc are sent via the Net daily.
Why can't we internet vote?
Can't be a security issue.....why?
I don't want it, at least not yet, and part of it is a security issue. Social Security and credit card numbers are stolen off the internet on a regular basis. There are too many computer savvy people out there that could wreak havoc with internet voting.
Not only that, I don't think we should make it too easy for people. Let there be at least a little effort involved, even if it just involves sitting down at the table, filling out a ballot, and mailing it. Let those who take it seriously enough to make a little effort do the voting. Does anyone really want people sitting down to a computer, after having paid absolutely no attention to what's been going on, and voting for our leaders like they were voting to kick someone off American Idol or who they think is going to win the Super Bowl? Not me.
Call me old fashioned, but we've gotten along without internet voting up till now, and we'll do just fine without it in the future.
