No Internet voting for military this year

A senior Pentagon official said Tuesday that the problems experienced by service members trying to vote by absentee ballot can only be resolved by using the Internet — but that won’t be possible in time for the fall elections.

Michael Dominguez, principal deputy under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness, told a House Administration Committee that electronic voting for service members is a long-term solution to the difficulty of voting by mail.

“It is not going to be available for the 2008 elections, obviously, but there is no reason it cannot be available for the next general election,” Dominguez said.

The administration committee, chaired by Rep. Robert Brady, D-Pa., appears divided about whether electronic voting is the answer.

Rep. Daniel Lungren, R-Calif., said he does not object to using the Internet to deliver blank absentee ballots and other election materials to service members, but he has “a problem with going to Internet voting.”

1. OMFG!! Talk about fascism! This is BS!

They know the majority of those in Iraq want out and want to vote them out!! :grr:

And why would voting by absentee mail be so difficult? That's a crock of BS!

They could fly those ballots out and have them back here within 24 hours, if they wanted to!

This really pisses me off! :nuke:
