Getting Political with Electronics

Happy Election Day America!  I woke up early this morning and it made me reflect on the sacrifice of the men and women who have and are still making America great.  No matter what political views we hold it makes me proud to be able to cast my vote.  But before I go into a political rant (which I will always avoid in my posts), let's turn the discussion over to electronics.

We have started to see electronic voting in America. Unfortunately these systems have not had the best press because people have found ways to hack into them.  While many companies make great products that are not hacked, it only takes one incident to raise questions about the integrity of their electronic voting system.

However as I stood in line, I wondered, will we see the voting system go purely electronic?  Can we stay at home, log into the web, and cast our vote in the future?  As a technology guy, I only see the system moving towards that direction.  However, it is a great feeling waking up early, sitting out in the cold, and casting your vote with your fellow Americans.

Thanks to everyone who has served our country!
