Iowa to put Internet voting to the test
"The challenge is not only scope but also security: ensuring that voters remain anonymous and at the same time preventing voter fraud. In Iowa, that will be accomplished by a two-step system. First, voters receive a personal identification number, which they enter when they log in to vote. Then, the vote is encrypted and sent via the Internet to a computer clearinghouse, where it is 'read' anonymously - 'like putting it in a trash compactor, and what comes out is the tabulation,' says Jim Adler, whose company, VoteHere.net, of Kirkland, Wash., is running the pilot program."
