Absentee Ballots Downloaded Online Raise Security Issues, As Does Election Day Voter Registration

A new Maryland law allowing voting by mail with a ballot downloaded online has some voter advocacy groups alarmed that adequate security measures will not be in place for the 2014 elections.

Election Day voter registration and the future of online voting were also among the hot button issues debated at a forum this week, hosted by the Maryland League of Women Voters in Annapolis.

The bill, Election Law – Improving Access to Voting, extends the right to all Maryland absentee voters to download and mark their ballots online. Ballots would then be mailed in to local election boards rather than tallied online. Previously only overseas voters and military personnel were allowed by law to obtain and mark ballots on the Internet.

    Anything to make voting easier (I mean easier to commit fraud) in Maryland. My opinion...show up to vote or go tot he Board of Elections or make a legitimate request for an absentee ballot. An ID should be required and we should take this right/responsibility more seriously. Many had sacrificed their lives for our nation and our democracy. Get you "you know whats" to the polls.
