This Friday, Internet voting will become a reality. Between Oct. 24 and Nov. 2, an estimated 600 to 700 United States citizens will use hardened laptops—PCs with no hard drive, and various other components either turned off or removed in advance to reduce security risks—located at special kiosks in Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom to cast their votes for president. It will be no more difficult than ordering a candidate's autobiography on Amazon. The Okaloosa Distance Ballot Piloting (ODBP) test program could help dismantle the bureaucratic obstacle course that now affects roughly 6 million overseas residents who must register earlier than other voters, and whose mail-in absentee ballots could be mishandled.

It's about as bad as anything else we use (paper excluded). Your choices are bad security and no security.

Why do I get the feeling that this will cause even more voting chaos?

Whatever.
