Title: Voting via internet
Post by: Towntalk on November 06, 2012, 11:10:14 AM
There are a number of organizations that would like to see voting via the internet, but the question is raised: Can a hacker proof system be devised to make internet voting secure?

As we know, even governmental sites which contain some of our most secret data have been hacked, and in the world of business, hacking is an ongoing problem.

At this point in time, hackers have proven that no current security measure is safe, and because of this most states are loth to even consider allowing online voting.

The question is: Is it possable for a 100% safe system to be devised to make online voting possable?

I'm certain that if Romney had won there would be a big cry of injustice all over the MSM. But since most of the East Coast was already in Obama's pocket, it doesn't matter.....

Are you kidding? Those drunkin' bums in the House couldn't find their way out of the congressional outhouse in broad daylight without three guide dogs and a troop of boy scouts.

Too many of them might just follow the boy scouts a little too closely.....

I'd also be concerned for the welfare of the guide dogs.
