CNN.com – Pentagon halts Internet voting system – Feb. 5, 2004
Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz has halted a Pentagon project that would have allowed military personnel, including troops deployed overseas, to vote via the Internet in the November presidential election.
Wolfowitz said the Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment (SERVE) could not guarantee voting records would be kept secure, thereby calling into question the integrity of the process.
This is very good news. The project was unsecure and would have cast great doubts on the entire election. Wolfowitz deserves some praise for this; the Pentagon was determined to go forward with this. mjh
