I agree with kenta. I also wonder if maybe by voting online, there would be privacy concerns - for example, if people could hack in and see who you had voted for. Or, if you had to enter your SS number into the computer and then that could be hacked as well.
Sorry, I'm not trying to shoot your idea down... :( Just adding my ideas...
If we can protect online banking we can protect online voting. Were do you think this technology is leading? Dont you want more freedom. I tired of paying for things like seat belt tickets, or stupid laws like that. What Im I going to fly out of my car and kill someone? Its my life seat belt or not should be my chose. I do believe in belting kids in. They are not old enough to chose thats (just a example) I have a voice you have a voice. But we have no control that needs to change
Everybody has access to the internet. There are free computers at the libraries. And we could open voting computer centers. We need to grow as a people we are able to get to know anybody or anything on line. This is the land of the free we all should be able to say what is free not only the people that risk there job if they vote the wrong way. We have a voice know we need to take advatage of the technology and speak how we want to live.
We need to speak for our self! In this day of technology we should be able to vote for the laws that will put us in jail. We need to take back our freedom,! our Goverment! Because they sound like they are not speaking the same as us. Why do 90% of people break the law when we are the ones "making" them?
I like the idea of everyone has a say, but I can't shake the thought that "freedom" allows people the freedom to be dumb. I, like everyone, have met thousands of people throughout my life and I can't say that I would want the majority of these people having a say in the creation of laws. I would like people who've dedicated their lives to upholding our laws and constitutional rights aka informed people making these decisions.
