>I agree that we should stay away from Internet systems for now. Maybe later when intenet connections are as common as telephones and biometric id systems are standard. Even then I'm not sure that we can resolve the inherent conflict between protecting voter anonymity and ensuring that someone does not vote more than once.>

I think internet voting would be viewed as a juicy target by hackers of all flavors. It would probably get shut down by denial of service attacks. The more I think about it, the more I think I should just be appointed King. We'd have a real drug war (I'd nuke Columbia the first day), I'd give a tax cut, I'd bring Nancy Reagan back to run the country and deport liberal Democrats to China.< G >
