Interesting Norm Ornstein column.

I'm writing something now along similar lines.

    "Kentucky Democrats say online voting would be more secure than
    vulnerable Florida system" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=48609>

Courier-Journal 
<http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20130320/NEWS0101/303200123/Kentucky-Democrats-say-online-voting-would-more-secure-than-vulnerable-Florida-system?nclick_check=1>: 
"As Kentucky Democrats make a last-minute push to allow U.S. military 
personnel overseas to vote online, Florida is reporting what appears to 
be the first case of someone trying to manipulate U.S. voting through 
the Internet."

Let me be clear (and for reasons I've spelled out in /The Voting Wars/ 
<http://www.amazon.com/Voting-Wars-Florida-Election-Meltdown/dp/0300182031/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1329286945&sr=1-2-catcorr>).  
This country is /not/ ready---and not close to ready--for secure 
Internet voting. This would be a huge mistake.
