The US Armed Forces are using the Internet for voting this year. I’m quite skeptical about machine voting in general.

But given that soldiers are so disenfranchised generally, I regard this as a positive invention. Of course, I hope they’re not voting in the configuration shown in the picture, where they can easily look at their buddies’ screens!
