"Internet voting presents far too many opportunities for hackers or even 
terrorists to interfere with fair and accurate voting, potentially in ways 
impossible to detect," the experts said in a statement Jan. 21. "Such 
tampering could alter election results, particularly in close contests."

Seeing this simply stated in the mainstream media is good news, even if the 
military is being so stubbornly ignorant that they are still considering 
implementing some form of internet voting.
 
We can hope that stories like this will wake more people up to the fact that 
ALL electronic voting systems that lack full auditing, public accounting, 
open source code and paper trails are identically flawed susceptible to 
tampering, fraud and corruption.
