Casting Ballot From Abroad Is No Sure Bet

Date: June 13, 2007

Author: Ian Urbina

QUOTE: Over the last six years, the Defense Department has spent more than $30 million trying to find an efficient way for American soldiers and civilians living abroad to vote in elections back home. But... the Pentagon’s system, which is Web-based, remains slow, confusing and plagued with security and privacy problems. And that has left many of the five million Americans overseas uncertain that their vote will be counted.
