Democrats are thinking about using Internet balloting in 2016 to expand their voter base and select a president -- prompting Republicans to consider such a strategy to keep from losing ground.
Iowa Democrats proposed the idea and several others during a recent Democratic National Committee meeting, saying Internet balloting could expand access to their unique caucus process to overseas military personnel, absentee voters and others.

I think its a very bad idea, says the Heritage Foundations Hans von Spakovsky, who thinks computer-based voting will never happen, or at least not in the foreseeable future.

This has ** VOTER FRAUD ** written all over it.
So easy to write code to automatically cast votes. Another DemocRAT idea to stuff the ballot box.
Would be fun ... How about some districts vote 200% of those on the rolls? All Conservative, of course. Heck, let’s get it on. 12,000,000 is the low side.
The states and feds have flushed about $1 BILLION of software development down the crapper trying to bring the wonders of commie-medicine to the hoi polloi.
How many more billions could they flush trying to make internet voting work?
Governments are simply INCAPABLE of building functioning systems.
Why don’t they just hand you the ballot for the NEXT election every time you vote? Then you could have a couple years to casually mail it in...or sell it to OFA or some other enterprising tyrannical group.
FRAUD
Not enough, erkelly. Voters must prove they are not sucking the government teat before being allowed to vote. If you’re a parasite mooch, no vote for you. Unless you are retired and are lawfully drawing against the Social Security you paid into for decades.
Careful, big brother is watching :-)
On second thought, just pretend you are a democrat, and you will be fine.
Pretending ....
And purple fingers.
How about we repeal XIX as a start?
No, sir! I'm on board with this.
Libs argued during 'Nam that if an 18 could be drafted they should have the right to vote. Fair enough.
We no longer have the draft so the requirement should go back to 21
Voter ID and proof of residency should be the bare minimum.
And we know how secure and private an internet vote would be.
I thought doing what Dems wanted all the time was the DEFINITION of losing ground.

The small town in MA where I used to live, no one could get by those poll watchers without being legit.
Yep. One day vote, same time all zones or a results blackout, paper ballot, national holiday and day off, purple thumb, thumbprint on absentee ballots, voter ID...
Heck, with 12 upstanding people can multiply by 12. 12 X 12,000,000. Can anyone say landslide?
Nope.
It’s not.
At least you didn’t require voters to be land owners.
:)
[but maybe you should]
If republicans had one iota of common sense they’d oppose it on the grounds of racism.
No one who can’t afford an ID card can afford internet access.
Therefore every asinine idea proposed by the CPUSA to promote even more voter fraud should be countered by proposals to restrict the franchise amongst felons, those receiving federal welfare benefits, those who fail to file income tax forms, register for the selective service etc.
Republican Governors should require ALL residents to re-register and require valid proof of US citizenship before issuing new voter ID cards.
The Founders were vehemently opposed to Universal Suffrage, and there was and continues to be no Right to vote in the Constitution of the United States.
Er wot? No purple fingers?
