Democratic Global Primary Voting Goes Online
For Americans living overseas, the process of voting in an election can be slow, painful, and unrewarding. American living abroad rely on mailed paper ballots that often aren't received by vote counters until well after a given candidate has been awarded the victory. However, for expatriate registered Democrats, voting in a primary will be easy and instantaneous this year thanks to a new online global primary. While voting in the Presidential election will still have to be done via the normal paper process, primary voting at least can be done through cyberspace with an online system that will allow ex-pats to choose their preferred candidate via the Internet. It won't all happen online, though. Physical meetings will be held to let overseas voters pick 22 global caucus representatives who will attend the Democratic National Convention.
It's all being coordinated at the Democrats Abroad website, which has plenty more information on how you can register to vote in the primary online, as well as info on how you can vote in the proper election online.

Are these people out of their minds? Are they even thinking about security and election fraud? Do they realize how elementary this would be to hack if it's not done right, and how hard it would be to do it right?
