This just in from the AP: The Pentagon scrapped its Internet voting system today.
The Pentagon won't use an Internet voting system for overseas U.S. citizens this fall because of concerns about its security, an official said Thursday. The official, who requested anonymity, said Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz made the decision to scrap the system because Pentagon officials were not certain they could "assure the legitimacy of votes that would be cast."
So, question: If Internet voting systems aren't good enough for the DoD, why are they good enough for the country at large?
And yeah, I know that military requirements, in many areas, are far more rigorous than civilian ones. But for voting?
