PT, I would have no problem with the mail in ballots, except the rule should be that all ballots should be received on or before election day, not mailed on or before election day. One less area for potential fraud. Joe

I forgot a link in the message I am referring to. Ted should be interested in this initiative's implications (property compensation). oregonlive.com -PT

While Oregon is the only mail-in state I have read that the use of "permanent absentee" voting is on the rise. Internet voting would be nice but I would be very concerned about privacy and wonder how this could be ensured. (Assuming there were no hidden microcodes on my last ballot... ;-) PT, That would be great but I don't think they would be ever able to come up with software that could guarantee security. I read somewhere recently that a good hacker can get thru almost any fire wall. BTW the new OR voting process work great in the beginning...it was way ahead of WA and CA in terms of vote count but when it hit 84% of precincts for some reason it stopped dead in its tracks, and that's when the vote counts in WA and CA overtook it. ted
