As a follow-up to my post proposing an online voting system to determine the 2012/2016 Democratic nominee, Allison Fine has written a lengthy piece on Personal Democracy Forum echoing many of the same ideas.
Fine points out that Democrats Abroad successfully implemented online voting in February:
Democrats Abroad, a division of the Democratic National Committee, organized online voting for registered members of the Democratic Party as part of the Super Tuesday primaries. Voters also had the option of voting by fax and mail and in person in some places. My friend Jim, a Democrat living abroad, emailed me, “I had to register with “Democrats Abroad” before they would let me vote. It was all done by email, and I really wasn’t too worried about security.”
Read the whole piece, as it goes deeper into examining the success of the Democrats Abroad online primary. Hopefully this is the start of a movement to bring America’s voting system into the 21st century.
