Will we be able to vote online soon?

Or does this cause too many problems with viruses and hackers?

Man, that's way too open for intrusion and tampering by potentially millions of hands. I don't trust online blackjack, craps or roulette for the same rational. Why the hell would I trust online voting?

I can't argue with security but it would be so awesome if I could just log in and vote right now instead of going somewhere....

what if we were all mailed a PIN to our registered address (obv the mailing does NOT include SSN)....then we just enter SSN and PIN to submit vote on a government website? people don't often hack governmental websites successfully do they? (I thought this was only in the movies)

I figure it would take all of about 10 days from the time online voting is announced until some group of intrigued programmers hopped up on Red Bull and Doritos learn how to hack the thing. Then we end up with Rick Astley elected president.

Back to the REPUBLICANS goes the house.

Gotta love politics. Like a back up QB they love you to death and everyone wants you in the game....once you get in there they start chanting for the next one in line.
