I'm not so worried about fraud as I am hacking.

I can understand the security concern. But when I talked to Luanne, she
mentioned that with all of the work she has done regarding voting
accessibility, she has not encountered sufficient evidence that voter fraud
is enough of a problem for security to be the reason an online system is
refused as an option. She is one person, and other opinions are certainly
legitimate, but for me, it seems like a good idea. It is already being
implemented for overseas military, so it is just a matter of making sure the
platform is accessible and that the option is extended to voters with
disabilities. I know that many people do not vote simply because it is a
hassle or not readily available or accessible to them whether it be a vision
loss or lack of transportation or whatever. And to me, providing more ways
for all types of people to access voting would do more good than the
negativity of the slim possibility of voter fraud. I think it is also
honorable to argue the point that people should
  be proactive in making sure they cast a ballot even if it is inconvenient,
but I think that that argument neglects groups of people who are still not
properly represented. And I believe that the reason for this is because of a
lack of information and accessibility rather than laziness.

skeptical that Washington will ever do it, or that the online voting will be
totally accessible.  The state employment forms aren't even accessible.  But
it would be nice if this was an option.    Peace,    Debby
