Maryland Voting Goes High-Tech

Maryland voters now can get access to absentee ballots via e-mail.

The Maryland State Board of Elections’ new system sends an e-mail to voters who request absentee ballots online, telling them how to access their ballots on the Internet. Previously, the ballots were individually typed up and sent to voters.

The University of Maryland’s Center for American Politics and Citizenship is helping run the initiative.

At least 3,000 Marylanders have requested ballots with the new system, as of two weeks ago, said Nikki Trella, the board’s election reform director.

This is scary-- access to absentee ballots being facilitated by a university.
I wonder how many hackers are working on this.
Who needs ACORN when you've got this kind of thing available.
