The craze over the Internet as the communications network for the 21st century has been accompanied by a movement to make the Internet the primary venue for voting in elections. In fact, Internet voting is already here.
Proponents argue for the ease of Internet voting.
Voting can be done from one's home at any time, making it easier for everyone to vote, regardless of their life situation. Some contend that this would increase voter turnout. Moreover, Internet voting would eliminate the problem of voting results in the East affecting turn-out and voting in the West. This all sounds great, but there are some questions our nation needs to address before it shuts down local precinct voting booths. Election fraud is the first problem to come to mind.
