Yahoo! News - Michigan Dems Proceed With Online Voting
Thousands of Michigan Democrats have cast ballots for Saturday's caucuses using an Internet system that security experts say shares some of the risks found in a just-scrapped Pentagon effort.

Experts worry that more states might be encouraged by the Michigan Democrats' endeavor to try out online voting, making elections an increasingly tempting target for hackers.

But a flawless showing in Michigan could create pressure from the electorate, said Harris Miller, president of the Information Technology Association of America and a longtime election poll worker.

"People shop online every day. Businesses do online financial transactions worth trillions of dollars. Why shouldn't you be able to vote online?" he asked.

If Kucinich wins today in Michigan, we will know that we have a problem. :-)

Still glad I voted for Howard. With John "I oppose gay marriage" Kerry's huge lead in the polls here, and given my current disgust with the Dems in general, I wonder if I would have made the effort to get out today had I not already voted online. (The answer-probably. I don't think I've ever missed a caucus, but I can't remember)
