Would You Elect the President via Text Message? 61 Percent Say 'Y'
According to a recent, sensational survey from Samsung Mobile, 61 percent of lazy, distracted, and impossibly ignorant cellphone users over the age 18 say they would be comfortable casting their vote for President of the United States via a text message. Meanwhile, the totally serious and meaningful survey found that eight in ten (or 80 percent) of teens under the legal voting age would use their mobile devices to cast a ballot in the election.
Additionally, Samsung Mobile discovered that 90 percent of cellphone users would like an ice cream cone, while another 87 percent would like an ice cream cone only after eating a quarter-pounder with cheese. Soon Samsung Mobile hopes to determine what percentage, if any, of the people surveyed know who is running for the office of president. [Source: BusinessWire]

We have the ability to confirm and validate the phone numbers, and by requiring a pin number to confirm the vote it can be done, safely, quickly and with limited fraud. No election process currently being used is fraud free.
Other countries in Europe do it now.
There are companies now who can communicate to 100% of the cell phones in the US and some who have international reach would allow US voters to vote from anywhere in the world where cell phone service is available.
