The Republicans may have had the honor of hosting the first convention to be broadcast over the Internet, but Democrats say that their big show will be the real E-convention. Ballots will then be tallied and uploaded to the convention website within seconds.
Electronic voting is part of our future.
The DNCC will also supply delegates with conference and city information via Palm handheld computers and technology developed by Aether Software and Eventcentric . Delegates and other attendees can also use the Palms to create personalized schedules, access news and convention speeches, discover information about other delegates, participate in interactive event surveys and evaluations, or locate a nearby restaurant. The application's content is also being translated into Spanish, and the possibility of providing the data in other languages is under consideration. Those who can't manage to buy, beg, or borrow a Palm Pilot will still be able to access much of the information at any of the 90 information kiosks throughout the convention center. Democrats can plug into the convention from their own computers or Web-enabled devices.
