Internet-based voting for government elections is sucker bait
Democracy's Biggest Cyberthreat May Not Be Malware
http://j.mp/Maraz0 (Internet Evolution)
"Attempts by other countries to design and build alternative online
voting systems have met with failure as a result of the more
traditional cybersecurity threats that Kaspersky alludes to. Recall
what happened when Washington, DC, introduced efforts to allow
Internet voting for overseas voters. When invited to test it, security
experts hacked the system within 48 hours. To prove their point, the
hackers voted Futurama's drunken robot Bender to head the District of
Columbia's school board."
