Nope -- anybody can submit a bogus voter registration form either online or on paper. However, local elections officials have the ability to examine the application and determine if they're valid or not. There's no reason to believe a bogus form submitted online is any more bogus (or hard to detect) than a bogus form submitted in paper. Voting is totally different -- because it's a one time event and there's no easy way to investigate voters after the fact. Because it's a one time event and because numbers -- not data -- are what matter voting is much more problematic online than registration.
Saying local election officiela have the 'ability' to examine applications is one thing-whether or not they would do their jobs in an unbiased way is another thing. Who ever said they could be trusted?
They can't even run clean hard-copy ballot elections.
The Bush-Gore fiasco in Florida exposed all the entrenched and compromised voting officials...just in case anyone out there STILL thought of them as being irreproachable. THEY ARE NOT.... and THAT'S how “O” got himself elected.
